These Zesty Lemon Pepper Tuna Steaks can be made in less than 20 minutes including prep time! They are so tender, juicy and flavorful!
I’m trying out a new recipe, Tuna Steaks using some Zesty Lemon Pepper seasoning that I picked up in Nassau! Last winter I visited the Bahamas (that was one of the stops on our Holiday cruise).
At the cruise port in Nassau, there’s a little market area with a few shops that sell anything from straw hats to spices.
The one thing I love about traveling to the Caribbean Islands, is picking up some wonderful spices there.
In some countries you can negotiate the price. Basically if there’s not a price listed on the item, then you can barter. And if you’re not happy with the price they offer, walk away because the next place down will probably go lower. I’d love to hear comments of how to barter better because I stink at it, haha! 😛
Every time I barter in a new country, I think I’m getting the deal of a lifetime. And then… I see the same item a bit further down from where I’m shopping and they offer it at a lower price. *sigh*
In the Bahamas everything is labeled with a price, I’ve never tried bartering here…has anyone else?
So anyway, while I was there I picked up some Zesty Lemon Pepper seasoning. This stuff is amazing! You can use it on any kind of seafood, chicken, or even tofu as the label states! I haven’t tried it on tofu, but I’m up for the challenge!
Now you don’t need to go to the Caribbean to get this spice, you can find Zesty Lemon Pepper seasoning in most grocery stores.
Here’s what I love about these Zesty Lemon Pepper Tuna Steaks:
- This is one of the easiest dinners I’ve ever made
- Total cooking time is under 10 minutes
- Only one seasoning is required for this
- It tastes like something fancy you would order at a restaurant
- Makes a great ‘date night’ at home meal
- It’s healthy and Low Carb
