Dice the avocado and toss with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
Chop the cherry tomatoes and cucumber into small, even pieces. Set aside in separate bowls.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shrimp (chopping them into bite-sized pieces if necessary), crabmeat, mayonnaise, remaining lemon juice, dill, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to prevent breaking up the seafood.
Use small glasses, ramekins, or clear serving cups for layering. Begin with a layer of cucumber at the bottom of each cup, followed by cherry tomatoes, and then avocado.
Add a generous layer of the seafood mixture on top of the avocado. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil for extra shine and flavor.
If desired, garnish the top of each cup with microgreens and an extra pinch of dill for presentation.
Serve chilled. These appetizers can be made up to 2 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
