Prejean's - Award Winning Cajun - Lafayette, LA

One of my favorite Cajun restaurants. Located in Lafayette, LA just a couple miles from I-10 just off I-49. Prejean's has been around since 1980 and serves a great combination of cajun seafood, steak, wild game and a plethora of Gumbo's.

Appetizer:

Shrimp Sassafras
Two jumbo shrimp stuffed with pepperjack cheese, grilled Tasso, wrapped with apple wood-smoked bacon, breaded and fried and set in Crawfish Cardinale cream sauce.

Amazing. Anything wrapped in bacon tends to be good - but this is a fantastic dish. One of my favorite appetizers anywhere!



Gumbo:



Chicken & Sausage Gumbo - a three time world champion gumbo.

I have eaten the Smoked Duck & Andouille Gumbo as well. Both are fantastic.





Main Course:


Soft Shell Crab Imperial
Jumbo soft shell crab stuffed with crawfish dressing, fried and finished with crab butter cream, grilled Tasso and served with rice dressing and grilled asparagus.





All of the dishes were very well done and extremely flavorful. Prejean's is a must stop location anytime you are in Lafayette.
