Take your taste buds on an unforgettable journey with Crispy Shrimp Stuffed Pork Meatballs, a delightful fusion of textures and flavors that's perfect for any occasion. These golden-brown meatballs hide a juicy surprise—tender shrimp tucked inside a savory blend of seasoned ground pork, garlic, and green onions. Coated in crisp panko breadcrumbs and deep-fried to perfection, each bite delivers a mouthwatering crunch followed by a burst of umami richness. The addition of soy sauce and sesame oil enhances the depth of flavor, while the shrimp adds a delicate seafood touch that sets these bites apart. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy-based options, and watch them disappear in minutes! Perfect as an appetizer or party snack, this gourmet creation is both indulgent and satisfying.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Divide the pork mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disc about 2 inches wide.
Place one shrimp in the center of each pork disc and mold the pork mixture around it, forming it into a sealed ball. Ensure the shrimp is fully enclosed.
Roll each meatball gently in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to coat evenly. Set aside on a plate.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully place the meatballs into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the meatballs using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy shrimp-stuffed pork meatballs hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-based sauces.
