Steps

1. Start by preparing the seafood: clean the shrimp, slice the scallops into thin pieces, and cut the squid into rings.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, scallops, and squid with lime juice and lemon juice. Ensure the seafood is fully submerged in the citrus juices.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the seafood to 'cook' in the acidic marinade.
4. After marination, add the finely chopped red onion, diced tomato, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the seafood mixture. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
