Hi, what could you use in place of the white wine? Possibly lemon juice or white vinegar?

Maybe you could try using some cooking wine. At this volume that is needed, I think using only lemon juice or vinegar may make it too sour.

We are having the fondeaux on Memorial Day. And yes it does have fresh spinach and Jack cheese. We always add about 50% more crawfish and shrimp. Pappadeaux is our favorite chain place we have ever eaten, bar none.

Sorry to say this is close but not right… there is no crab in the fondeaux.. just crawfish tails, shrimp and blackened oysters… only the oysters are blackened. The spinach is whole leaf baby spinach.. otherwise this is pretty darn close!! And the type of cheese they put on top in Monterrey Jack Cheese! Only know because I worked at a Deaux for several years.. but adding crab meat would be yummy!!
