The price is a reference figure, and your restaurant sets its own.
Is It a Good Order?
Yes, if you want protein without a pile of carbs. At 57g of protein it beats the 8 oz. Top Sirloin (55g), and at 49g of carbohydrate it has half the carbs of the Three-Cheese Chicken Penne (102g). Few entrées on the menu give you that much protein for that few carbs.
The catch is sodium. At 2,910mg it's more than the entire 2,300mg Daily Value in one plate. Ask for the garlic butter on the side, and you control the richest part of the dish.
How the Skillet Works
Cast iron holds heat far longer than a plate, so the food keeps cooking on the walk to your table. Butter and juices hit the hot iron and brown, and the mushrooms and onions underneath soak all of it up. The practical upside: the last bite is as hot as the first. The practical warning: don't touch the pan.
Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp vs Bourbon Street Steak
Two dishes carry the Bourbon Street name, and people mix them up.
| Chicken & Shrimp | Steak | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $17.99 | $19.99 |
| Calories | 1,010 | 1,430 |
| Protein | 57g | 71g |
| Carbs | 49g | 88g |
| Sodium | 2,910mg | 3,430mg |
Both use Cajun seasoning and garlic butter over mushrooms and onions. The chicken and shrimp is $2 cheaper, 420 calories lighter, lower in carbs and sodium, and 14g lower in protein. Unless you need the most protein on one plate, order the chicken and shrimp. The steak is on the steaks and ribs page.
Other Sizzling Skillets at Applebee's
Applebee's has started putting more things in cast iron. Since August 31, 2026, the O-M-Cheese-adilla Burger comes sizzling in a skillet of molten queso and Cheddar with tortilla chips. It's on the 2 for $25 and dine-in only. See burgers. The O-M-Cheese Chicken Nachos appetizer uses the same queso skillet. And for dessert, the Sizzling Caramel Apple Blondie gets caramel poured over at the table. It's $9.49 on the dessert menu.
Ordering It Lighter
Ask for the garlic butter on the side. It's the richest part of the plate, and adding it yourself means you decide how much. Swap the mashed potatoes for Steamed Broccoli to take out most of the starch. If sodium is the worry, those two changes are the ones that matter.
Allergens
It contains shellfish, which you'd expect, and milk and soy, which catch people out. Ordering it without the shrimp doesn't make it safe for a shellfish allergy, because the chicken and shrimp cook side by side. See the allergen menu and talk to the manager.
To Go
The chicken and shrimp hold up fine in a box. The sizzle doesn't: without the cast iron it's a good Cajun chicken and shrimp plate that arrives warm, not hot. Reheat the shrimp gently, since it goes rubbery faster than the chicken. More on Carside To Go.
