This Pork and Shrimp Meatball Soup is absolutely delicious. I am often trying recipes by Gordon Ramsay for obvious reasons, (I love him). Once again, his recipe did not disappoint. Easy to make, flavorful, and soothing, this recipe will become one of your favorites, too. It’s also an easy recipe to tweak according to your preferences; spicy/not spicy etc.
Healthy Pork and Shrimp Meatball Soup
Ingredients
- ¼ lb. 21/25 sized raw head removed shrimp (prawns), peeled and deveined.
- ½ lb. ground pork
- 1½ Tbsp. finely chopped chives
- 2 cm piece of fresh root ginger, peeled and diced
- 2 oz baby spinach
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Broth
- 1L chicken broth
- 2 Tsp. oyster sauce, to taste
- 2 Tsp. soy sauce, to taste
- 1-3 large pieces of fresh root ginger, peeled and chopped
Directions
Finely chop the shrimp until almost minced. Put in a bowl with the ground pork, chives, and ginger. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix until the ingredients are well blended. Roll the mixture into small balls. Move to a plate, cover, and chill in the refrigerator until they are needed.
In a large pot, combine the broth ingredients and mix well. Bring this to a boil, then turn down the heat. Mildly simmer for about 10 minutes to infuse, and do a taste test. Modify the flavoring as needed. For a more intense broth base, leave the mixture to simmer for longer.
Heat a heavy skillet frying pan over medium heat and add a tiny bit of oil. Fry the pork and shrimp balls, turning them often, for about 7 minutes. They should be golden brown all over. Transfer them into the gently simmering pan of broth. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the balls are cooked all the way through. Add the baby spinach and cook for 1 more minute until spinach is wilted.
Serve and enjoy!
