Pappadeaux Grilled Snapper

February 4, 2009

Pappadeaux is known for their cajun faire.  Delicious cajun food abounds here.  Try their grilled snapper at home. This is one of my favorite places to get cajun style food outside of New Orleans!

Pappadeaux Grilled Snapper

Yield: 4 servings.

Butter Sauce
1/2 lb. unsalted Butter
2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp. Chicken Bouillon
1/4 tsp. White Pepper
3 Tbsp. Onion, chopped fine
1 Tbsp. Garlic, chopped fine
1 tsp. Oregano
3 Tbsp. White Wine
Salt to taste

Spices for fish
1 tsp. Paprika
1/4 tsp. White Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
1/2 tsp. Oregano
1/2 tsp. Thyme
1 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

4 (8 – 10 oz) Snapper filets
1 lb. Crawfish Tail Meat
1/2 lb. Lump Crab Meat
1/2 C. melted unsalted Butter
To make the butter sauce, allow unsalted butter to soften to room temperature. Combine all other ingredients with butter and blend till smooth. Refrigerate until needed. To make the spice mix, combine all spice ingredients and mix well. Place in a spice shaker. Preheat grill to 350-375 degrees. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and brush the belly side of each fillet evenly. Sprinkle spices on fish. Place fish on grill belly side down and repeat this step for the opposite side of fish.  Grill each side approximately 3 to 4 minutes. While fish is cooking, melt half of the refrigerated butter sauce from the first step in a saute pan. Add crawfish and crabmeat to saute pan and stir occasionally until hot. Set aside. When the fish is ready, reheat the butter sauce and add additional butter sauce from the first step to make the sauce creamy. Serve sauce immediately over the fillets.

    I learned this when an old lady chewed me out. Your call your fish a filet pronounced fi-lay. A filet is a piece of meat such as mignon? A piece of fish is pronounced fil-let. It has two l’s. Look it up. Thanks for rec. Big H
