Servings: persons

3 medium scallions, white and tender green parts only
2 medium garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 jalapeno, seeded and quartered lengthwise
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 Hass avocados, halved and pitted
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup cold buttermilk
3/4 cup bottled clam juice
1/2 cup ice water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper
Jumbo lump crab meat
Creme fraiche, fried tortilla strips, and finely chopped chives (optional)

1
Preheat a grill pan. In a small bowl toss the scallions, garlic, and jalapeno with the vegetable oil. Grill over moderately high heat turning occasionally until charred all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a work surface and let cool.
2
Finely chop the scallions and jalapeno and transfer to a medium bowl. Peel the garlic cloves, mash them to a paste and add them to the bowl. Scoop the avocado flesh into the bowl and coarsely mash with a fork. Fold the cilantro and lime juice into the guacamole, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
3
For a brighter, crunchier guacamole, finely chop the scallions, garlic, and jalapeno and stir them in raw.
4
In a blender, puree 1 cup of the guacamole with the cold buttermilk, bottled clam juice, ice water, and fresh lime juice. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Ladle into 4 bowls and top with jumbo lump crab meat. Garnish with creme fraiche, fried tortilla strips, and finely chopped chives, if desired.
