Add in the crawfish and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir In the cooked rice and season to taste with hot sauce, cajun seasoning, and mustard powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the rice a little at a time until mixed well.

3. Stuff each pepper with the rice and crawfish mixture. Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 minutes- or until they're warmed through and the cheese is bubbly/browned.
