Ingredients
- vegetable oil or spray for the pan or use parchment paper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- ½ pound raw shrimp, shelled, deveined, rinsed in cold water, and drained
- 1 pound ground or minced pork
- ¾ cup panko or other dried breadcrumbs
- 4 green onions, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or Szechuan pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray or oil a roasting pan with vegetable oil or line with parchment.
- Add the ginger and garlic in the bowl of the food processor and process until chopped. Scrape down the bowl of the processor if necessary.
- Add the shrimp to the food processor and process until the shrimp is finely chopped.
- Add the shrimp mixture to a medium bowl with all of the other ingredients, and use your hands to combine until well mixed.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or your hands to form golf ball-sized meatballs and place them in the pan.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. I usually shake the pan once or twice during that time to get more even browning.
Notes
- The mixture should be combined gently with your hands (no need to knead!) and rolled to form balls.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to get meatballs of generally the same size for cooking consistency.
- Parchment paper or a little oil prevents the meatballs from sticking to the pan.
