This is soooo delicious and definitely not diet food.  You can serve it with rice or pasta or over fish.

In a sauce-pot over medium heat melt butter.

Add onion, celery & bell pepper and saute until transparent.

Add all dry ingredients and cook until a think crust forms on bottom of pan.

Add crawfish and simmer for a few minutes.

Add flour and stir to thicken until a light roux.

Remove from heat, add garlic and cheese.
