Begin by adding the pork, shrimp, green onion, zest, garlic, and salt and pepper to a food processor.

Remove the blade.

To a small fry pan, add the oil and heat it on medium to high heat, roughly four minutes or so.

Dampen your hands in a small bowl of water, then take some of the pork and shrimp mixture and begin rolling them into balls.

You decide on the size of the meatball.

I like mine around the size of a golf ball, maybe a bit smaller.

Roll about 3 to 4 of them, then add them to the hot oil.

Make sure you test the oil before you add the meatball.

You can do this by adding a small pinch of the meat mixture if you want.

You want the oil to sizzle.

Once they are cooked on one side, take a wooden or regular spoon, and carefully turn it over, cooking the other side.

You will end up with a nice golden meatball.

Remove the meatballs and place in a strainer or on paper towel to let any access oil drain.

Repeat until all of the meatballs are cooked.

You can serve these in several different ways.

I served mine as a pork and shrimp meatball sub with a secret sauce.

Other serving ideas would be to pop a toothpick in the middle of them, and serve with a simple soy sauce and grated ginger dipping sauce, or a simple chili sauce.
