Marinate the Alligator
In a bowl, combine alligator meat with olive oil, minced garlic, Creole seasoning, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
