Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the alligator is marinating, chop the bell pepper, onion, and celery. Set aside for later use.

Cooking

  1. 3

    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.

  2. 4

    Cook the Alligator

    Remove the alligator from the marinade and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the alligator is cooked through and no longer opaque.

  3. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with rice or crusty bread.
