Ingredients

1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 lb bay scallop (the little ones)
2 lemons, juice of
2 limes, juice of
2 oranges, juice of
1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 cup diced tomato
1 avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro leaf (may add more if you like)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper (optional)

Preparation

In a medium-sized stainless steel or clear glass bowl, place lemon, lime and orange juices.
Stir in the shrimp, scallops, cucumber and red onion. If you are adding chiles or peppers, add them now as well.
Refrigerate for 3 hours. The shrimp and scallops should have turned white (from opaque) meaning that the citrus juices have \"cooked\" them.
30 minutes prior to serving, remove from the fridge and stir in the tomato, avocado, chopped cilantro, and olive oil.
Serve in martini glasses with saltine crackers on the side if you want to be fancy, otherwise just put the bowl out with a few spoons and a whole bunch of saltine crackers and tortilla chips and let everyone dig in!
To serve, divide the ceviche between 6 chilled martini glasses.
