There are several ways so I chose the easiest to explain.
2 wire (power in) into the first switch box.
3 wire from 1st switch box to recep box.
3 wire between boxes.
Ist box:
Tie two whites from
power in and
3 wire to recep together.
Tie all 3 blacks together.
Red from 3 wire going to
recep goes to
common terminal of 3 way switch. Red and white from 3 wire between switches go to the other 2 terminals. Mark the white wire with black tape.
2nd box: Black to common terminal, red and white to the other two in any order. Mark the white wire with black tape.
Recep: Use needle nose pliers to pry the tab between the
brass screws off. White to silver screw , red and black to the brass screws. The red will be the switched 1/2.

I might be wrong but I believe the op is wanting to get power from a half switched receptacle.
