Grilled Cajun Style Gator Tail Recipe


(from an experienced louisiana outdoorsman)


4 To 6 Lbs Gator Tail


Lemon wedges





Cajun Seasoning Mix:





12 T Paprika


6 T Garlic powder


3 T Salt


3 T White pepper


3 T Oregano, crushed


3 T Black pepper


2 1/2 T Thyme


1 T Cayenne pepper





To make seasoning mix, I combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, oregano, black pepper, thyme and cayenne pepper in jar with tight fitting lid. Shake well to combine. I usually lean up against the wall with my good leg extended for balance. You can fall over while shaking if not careful. This mixture may be stored for up to 3 months


When ready to cook, cut gator tail meat into 1/2'; cubes. I use a Butcher Knife and have to be very careful with my one arm, not to miss the meat. Usually, I hold the meat in place with my good foot. You can wash it again later.


Next, roll each cube in 1 tablespoon of the mixture. This is easy to do when you only have 3 fingers. Cook over high heat on an outdoor barbecue grill or under the oven broiler for 4 to 6 minutes, or until gator tail meat is white and firm to the touch. Serve warm with lemon wedges. I use my teeth to squeeze the lemons (no one will ever know) The seasoning mixture will coat up to 24 (4 oz.) servings of gator tail.

I will be sure to keep that in mind if I ever see an alligator around here.Want a good cajun gator recipe????
I was researching biodiverse countries, one of which is Mexico. Many different types of crocodiles and gators there. Thanks for the recipe, but we are too far north to get the meat. Clever instructions. I'd love to see more of your recipe collection.
There's a 69-year old lady in Florida that could have used that recipe a little over a week ago . . .
You cheated! You saw my question yesterday in the China section? We have fresh crocodile at the local markets, I just don't know how to cook it!!!!


Is your recipe good? I will buy the meat and try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Thanks!!!!!!
Bit low on Alligators here in the UK...would it work using an Orange tip butterfly?
Ewwww! LoL!!!
Hmmm. I've heard this same recipe works well with nutria, too.
Haven't seen any gators around this area. (No.. California) so, so we all have our parts, if you know what I mean. And I certainly don't know where to buy any. But if I ever do I will be sure to try your recipe.


What have you got for Opossum. I do occasionally see one late at night in his travels across my backyard fence. Once I was sitting out on my patio watching the stars and something came running across my patio. I think it was a Opossum chasing a cat or visa versa. They went by so fast It was kind of hard to tell who was chasing who. Scared the H--- out of me. Maybe a little Opossum stew?
