Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 8 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
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.
