BBQ shrimp? But it looks like a roux, not what's used in bbq shrimp.
Yes, BBQ shrimp, looking overcooked to me. I'm not sure that's a roux. If you swirl the butter in last minute, the sauce looks thicker, so it could be that, but the shrimp don't look appetizing.
The peppers looked like tomatoes in some of the pictures until they were enlarged. I don't get sprinkling the raw peppers on nearly every dish. I love bell peppers, but I don't love it raw.

It irks me because it's supposed to be a cajun restaurant, but using raw bell pepper as a garnish is not in any way "Cajun." So when a restaurant that claims to be Cajun opens up in Memphis, that's what people from Memphis will think - that cajuns regularly garnish everything with raw bell pepper.

Maybe they think it's a New Orleans things. Below is what I posted earlier about the name and the way they describe the restaurant. I also still don't know what a Cajun cobb salad is.

Why would someone put Cajun in the restaurant name and then describe it as the "best of the Big Easy" ~"we're serving up the best of New Orleans"? New Orleans is not Cajun. That's a big red flag, among many, for me in just the advertising (and the menu). However, people in TN probably won't know any better.
