1 Tablespoon Creole Seasoning (used: Tony Chachere's)
2 teaspoons Seafood Seasoning (used: Old Bay)

1
Saute the celery, bell pepper, and onion in the butter on medium heat until the vegetables become tender. Add the spices and garlic. Saute to combine, and then blend in the flour to form a roux around the vegetables, over medium-high heat. Cook thoroughly until the roux starts to brown slightly. Add the broth/stock a little at a time, stirring to bring all the ingredients together to form a thickened stew mixture. Stir in the crawfish tail meat, and then the cream. Simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Serve over rice and garnish with parsley and lemon juice. It's great with a nice crusty bread, to sop up the sauce!
