Shrimp and Pork come together in one fantastic Thai inspired meatball, coated in a delicious sweet chili sauce!
You all know I love a good meatball! I pretty much make up a batch every month; then use them in pasta, soups, and sandwiches. Or throw them in the crock pot with some jam. These Sweet and Sour Cocktail Meatballs are the kids’ favorite. Made them for dinner just last week.
Meatballs. They’re sort of my lifeblood.
Well, just like burgers and meatloaf, there are a million different ways to make them. And it doesn’t always have to be with beef!
Combining shrimp and pork was incredibly delicious, my friends. And coating them in homemade sweet chili sauce was fantastic << so glad I just have two jars left, because these meatballs are getting made again and again.
