Instructions:

1. Prepare the squid, if using, by cleaning it and then placing it in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove, drain and slice into rings. 2. A couple of hours before serving, prepare the fresh seafood and place in a non-reactive bowl or plastic container with the prepared squid. Add fresh lime juice to just cover the seafood. Add a couple of pinches of salt and stir gently to combine. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. Stir occasionally. 3. Prepare all the other ingredients except the cilantro and combine in a bowl to make a salsa. Add a little lime or lemon juice to keep the avocado from turning color. Add a little Bloody Mary mix and/or clam juice if you want. Taste and adjust seasoning. 4. When ready to serve, drain the seafood, reserving the marinade. Combine with the salsa and stir gently. If you need a bit more liquid, add some of the marinade. Gently stir in chopped cilantro. Variations: Can also use Bloody Mary mix and/or clam juice to flavor the veggies. I've seen radishes, cucumber and pineapple used in the salsa, too. You can make a cooked version with cooked shrimp and imitation crabmeat. In this case, use the Bloody Mary mix with a little clam juice. |
