Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, cooked and chopped octopus, and shucked clams.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato juice, lime juice, orange juice, ketchup, and hot sauce until well combined. This zesty marinade is what brings the dish to life.
3. Pour the tangy sauce over the seafood mixture, ensuring everything is well coated.
4. Add the finely chopped onion and cilantro, stirring gently to combine all ingredients evenly. This adds a fresh burst of flavor.
5. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed to enhance the flavors.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the seafood to marinate. This is a crucial step to develop the cocktail's signature taste.
7. When ready to serve, spoon the chilled seafood cocktail into serving bowls or glasses, allowing the vibrant colors to shine.
8. Garnish with slices of fresh avocado on top for a creamy contrast to the tangy cocktail, adding richness and visual appeal.
