Preparation

Step 1

Thread alligator meat onto bamboo skewers.

Place skewers in a flat dish, season with salt and pepper, pour lime juice over & place in fridge for about 1 hour.
Remove skewers from refrigerator, saving residual lime juice for the sauce.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan to 350 F, and sauté alligator for about 5 minutes, or until browned, set aside and keep warm.
Combine lime juice, honey, brown sugar, ginger, chicken stock and corn starch in a saucepan.

Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Place skewers on plates, spoon sauce over meat and garnish with fresh herbs.
