Poppas Crawfish Pie

Preheat oven to 400 F. Melt butter (dont use margarine) in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, celery, salt, and black pepper. Saute for 8-10 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Add tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the crawfish tails and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes. Disolve the flour in the water and add to the pan. Stir for approximately 2 minutes or until crawfish mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and let mixture stand for 30 minutes to cool. Place the pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Pour cooled crawfish mixture into the pie crust. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
