Seafood Cocktail

• 3 dozen large raw clams or scallops or medium-size cooked shrimps
• 1/2 cup (125 ml) fresh lime juice
• About 12 ounces (340 g) tomatoes, finely chopped (about 2 cups/500 ml)
• 1 small white onion, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup/65 ml)
• 1 large avocado, cubed
• 3 to 4 serrano chiles or any fresh, hot green chiles, finely chopped with seeds
• 2 heaped tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

1. If you are using clams, open them or have them opened for you, saving both the clams and their juice.
2. If you are using scallops, let them marinate in the lime juice for an hour or so.
3. Combine the clams (and their liquid) or other seafood with the rest of the ingredients, adjust the seasoning, and serve slightly chilled (see note above).
