Step 1
Cut each lime in half, then squeeze both limes into a small bowl, catching any seeds in your hand and pressing the lime halves to extract all juice.
Step 2
Pour the tomato juice into a medium bowl, then add the lime juice and stir with a spoon until mixed, about 10 seconds.
Step 3
Add the halved shrimp to the tomato-lime mixture and gently stir with a spoon until the shrimp are evenly coated, about 20 seconds.
Step 4
Add the crabmeat to the bowl and stir gently until it is fully combined with the broth, about 15 seconds — do not break apart the crab pieces.
Step 5
Add the minced jalapeño to the bowl and stir once to distribute the heat throughout, about 10 seconds.
Step 6
Divide the seafood mixture evenly between two bowls, pouring all the broth over the shellfish.
Step 7
Top each bowl with half the avocado cubes, scattering them across the surface so they float on top of the broth.
