1
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, combine flour and 1 tablespoon of Shack seasoning. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third shallow dish, combine cornmeal and the remaining tablespoon of Shack seasoning.
2
Bread the Gator
Dip each piece of alligator meat first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the cornmeal mixture, making sure to coat evenly.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
4
Fry the Gator Bites
Carefully add the breaded gator pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5
Serve
Serve the gator bites hot with housemade gator sauce on the side.
