Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen
Address:
North I35 & Hwy. 290 intersection
Part of Town: North
Phone: 452-9363
Cost:
Type of Food: Cajun/Creole

Recommended Items:

Pepper Shrimp
butterflied jumbo shrimp with a citrus glaze, served with dirty rice & asparagus

Order WITHOUT the citrus glaze because it contains soy sauce.

comments:

I always ask to speak with the manager who personally supervises my meal. I prefer the woman manager (didn't get her name) who seemed very knowledgeable when I presented my dining out card. She said this dish is popular with GF customers. I have had the Pepper Shrimp on numerous occasions. Order WITHOUT the citrus glaze because it contains soy sauce. The beautiful dish has lots of spicy flavor. I really enjoy the peppery shrimp and the delicious dirty rice. It is a generous portion.

Type of Food: Cajun/Creole, Seafood (Crawfish, seafood)
Recommended Items: Blackened catfish (lunch = runs about $9) - expensive but a huge piece of fish!

Salads looked good, did not try.

comments: I ordered the catfish (plain not blackened) off the lunch menu and had no problems. For extra, they gave me a baked potato which was huge. It usually comes with grilled veggies. The minute after I ordered, the manager came to speak to me about my "wheat" allergy and when i clarified I was celiac, he immediately said "gluten" Imagine my joy! :)
