Clean and wash the snapper fish, then make slits in the fish for seasoning to penetrate.

Sieve off the seasoning and set aside part of it for later use.

Season the fish thoroughly, ensuring the seasoning goes into the slits and the head.

In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

Saute sliced onion, garlic, and tomato in the pot for about 2 minutes.

Add about 2 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add pumpkin, carrots, and potatoes; partially cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the remaining seasoning to the pot.

Place the seasoned fish on top of the vegetables in the pot, then add bell peppers and okra on top.

If needed, add warm water to ensure there is enough liquid for steaming.

Cover the pot and steam for 10 minutes, allowing the okra to soften.
