Add salt a little at a time, stirring and tasting after each addition until satisfied. Add pepper and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce if desired. Add bread crumbs and stir just until they melt/dissolve into the soup. Lastly, add shrimp and stir gently to combine. Cover and chill in refrigerator 3-4 hours. Ladle gazpacho into chilled bowls, mugs or large stemmed glasses. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream sprinkled with avocado and lemon/lime zest. NOTE: If a vegetarian gazpacho is preferred: Use only V-8 juice, substitute vegetable broth for beef broth, and omit both shrimp and horseradish.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a paring knife, score nonstem end of each tomato with shallow hatch mark. Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, until skin peels easily. Transfer tomatoes to a bowl of ice water. Peel and halve them after they cool. Remove and discard most of the seeds, without wasting pulp.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer mussels from skillet to a bowl. Cool slightly, cover with plastic, and refrigerate.
• Return skillet to heat, and bring to a simmer. Add shrimp, and poach until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer shrimp from poaching liquid to a bowl, let cool slightly, and refrigerate.
• Dice the remaining 1 1/2 jalapeno peppers. Slice yellow cherry tomatoes in half.
• Adjust seasoning of chilled tomato puree with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped jalapenos, cucumbers, red onion, and sliced cherry tomatoes. Ladle soup into bowls. Divide seafood among bowls. Sprinkle each bowl with chopped cilantro, and serve.
