Rattlesnake Preparation

Method

Rattlesnake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Rattlesnake

    Place the rattlesnake meat in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rattlesnake

    Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the rattlesnake from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the rattlesnake for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
