2. 2. Peel the shrimp and cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces.
3. 3. In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the shrimp, scallops, and octopus with 1 thinly sliced onion, 3 finely chopped hot peppers, and 1 tsp salt.
4. 4. Squeeze enough lemon juice (about 1 cup) to cover the seafood mixture completely. Stir well to combine.
