Marinate the onion
Combine the chopped onion with lime juice in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to mellow the onion’s sharpness.
Mix the shrimp and vegetables
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the sauce
Stir in the tomato and clam juice, ketchup, and hot pepper sauce. Mix until the ingredients are evenly coated.
Fold in avocado and marinated onion
Gently fold in the diced avocado and the marinated onions with their lime juice, taking care not to mash the avocado.
Chill and serve
Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
