1. Using a deep fryer, heat oil to 365°F, or per manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Season Alligator meat with salt and pepper and saute in a skillet over medium heat until done.
3. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients, mixing well.
4. Chop or shred Alligator meat into small pieces, then mix into batter and let stand for 10 minutes.
