Ingredients
- 8 SERVINGS
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled
- 2 medium cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, with the fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped scallion plus more for garnish

Preparation
Step 1
If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire.
Put shrimp and garlic in a food processor and pulse until just chopped; remove to a large bowl.
Working in batches, grind pork fat until just chopped (be careful not to over-process). Add to bowl.
Then grind meat until just chopped, again being careful not to over-process; add to bowl.
Mix shrimp, pork fat and meat with the soy sauce, scallion, cilantro, chili and ginger; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shape into 8 patties.
To broil or grill, cook about 4 minutes, then turn and cook for a total of 8 to 10 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through.
For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add the patties; cook undisturbed, for about 4 minutes, then turn and cook for a total of 8 to 10 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through.
Garnish with scallion, cilantro, cabbage and pickled pepper, to taste.
