Instructions
With a knife, chop the shrimp into small pieces—nothing should be over ¼-inch. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, pork, egg, garlic, ginger, half of the cilantro, sesame oil, rice or breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your fingers or a spoon to mix everything together evenly without beating or compacting the mixture too much (which will result in dense meatballs). Form into 12 balls, rolling them gently between the palms without pressing too hard.
In a very large (12-inch) heavy skillet, heat the oil (or its stand-in) over medium. Lay in the meatballs in a single, uncrowded layer. Strew the chopped red onion around the meatballs. With tongs or a spatula, turn the meatballs (and stir around the onions) until they are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
While the meatballs are browning, in a blender jar combine the canned or roasted fresh tomatoes, chiles (or red pepper), the remaining half of the cilantro and the garlic. Process to a coarse puree. Pour the tomato mixture over the browned meatballs, cover the pan (if you don’t have a large lid, use a cookie sheet) and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Remove the meatballs to 4 warm dinner plates, leaving behind as much sauce as possible. Stir the water (or other liquid) into the skillet, raise the temperature to medium-high and bring to a let simmer for a minute or two. Season with salt (usually about 1 teaspoon). Spoon over the meat balls and you’re ready to serve.
I am going to make it after I come back on holiday it sure look good
I am going to try this recipe and serve it with either rice or toasted coconut. Tony
Was amaized at your cooking show today. Love the meatball recipes. Look so easy and delicious.
Meatball looked so good. What was the herb that was added at the last that looked like arugula. That was not the name, but the above recipe didn’t mention it.
This turned out to be delicious. I added just a bit of chorizo to the meatballs, and all the heat blended beautifully. I served it with white rice as suggested.
We just finished doing this recipe and it turned out GREAT! We followed the recipe as shown on season 12, episode 12. We garnished with thinly sliced red onion and shaved parmesan cheese over basmati rice
These meatballs are delicious! I just made them for the second time. I bought a 4pack of ground turkey at Costco and adjusted the recipe to use it all. I used a cookie dough scoop to make the balls and they were done in no time. They are a nice change and super handy to pull out of the freezer and please visit us: https://www.beckandbulow.com
