Grilled Alligator Tail Roast

I got this from my partner Billy.

1 Alligator Tail Roast
1 jar Italian dressing
2 lemons
4 limes Marinate alligator tail roast overnight in Italian dressing in a zip lock bag.
Slice lemons and limes.
Prepare a grill for medium low cooking
Lay out the lemon slices on the grill and place alligator tail roast on lemon slices to cook for 12-20 minutes depending on the thickness. Before you flip the roast, lay out the lime slices in the same manner. Flip roast onto lime slices and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 135. Allow to rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
