Clean the whole snapper by removing the insides and any scales.

Check the eyes of the fish to ensure freshness; they should be black and not cloudy.

Squeeze lime juice all over the fish to clean it, then rinse it out.

Season the fish inside and out with various seasonings including all-purpose seasoning, creole seasoning, lemon pepper, complete seasoning, black pepper, and a natural green seasoning.

Massage the seasonings into the fish thoroughly for flavor.

Prepare the vegetables by washing and cutting them into desired shapes: carrots, red and green bell peppers, pumpkin, tomato, Irish potato, and scotch bonnet pepper.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a pan and sauté the vegetables for about a minute.

Mix 3 tablespoons of pumpkin flavor soup mix with roughly 3 cups of water to create a flavorful base for the fish.

Once the sautéed vegetables are ready, pour the pumpkin soup mixture into the pan and let it simmer until it bubbles.

Once bubbling, carefully place the seasoned fish into the pan, moving the vegetables to the side to accommodate it.

Add about 3 tablespoons of butter on top of the fish for extra flavor.

Cover the pan and let the fish steam on medium heat without disturbing it, allowing it to cook through and absorb the flavors.
