  2. Drain the shrimp and transfer to a bowl. Add the orange juice and lime juice, stir to combine; refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the tomato juice and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro and red onion. Stir in the avocado, tomato and hot sauce, and mix gently to blend. Add the cooked shrimp and juice. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  4. To serve, divide equal portions into martini glasses, and place each on a plate with popcorn. Garnish each serving with two patacones.

    Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado, sometimes called a 40 count or 48 count avocado, averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
