GROUND PORK AND SHRIMP IN COCONUT MILK
**Freezer Friendly recipe. Freeze in individual portions in freezer bags. I added fresh cilantro once before serving because I had it on hand. Fabulous. I have a lot to say about this little recipe. First it is ugly, really ugly. A totally white dish. It does taste fabulous. Do not omit the garnish, it adds color and the flavors are important. This recipe was a great solution to a "Costco" dilema I encountered. I buy boneless pork chops in bulk at Costco and needed some easy recipes other than traditional pork chops. I found this recipe in Mark Bittmans "The Best Recipes in the World" and of course adapted it to my needs. It takes about 15 minutes max to make. Love that! What I especially like, is that I learned to grind my own meat in my food processor. You simply cut the pork into chunks (1 - 2 inches) and put them in the processor. Pulse on and off until it's ground. I thought it would be a big gooey mess, but it worked perfectly! The original recipe call for 1/2 pound of uncooked shrimp, peeled and chopped. I just substituted cooked bay shrimp and add them at the end. (You could certainly leave out the shrimp). I also worried about the pork being cooked through, but becuase it was ground it only took a few minutes!! Nam Pla is an Asian fish sauce made from Anchovies. It is like a light soy sauce.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this dish. The shrimp and coconut milk sauce were so flavorful that they made me forget all about the pork. I would definitely make this again, but I might use chicken instead of pork next time.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables. I think some chopped bell peppers or carrots would add a nice pop of color and flavor.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. The coconut milk did a good job of balancing out the heat, but I would probably use less chili next time.

[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of coconut milk, but I really enjoyed this dish. The coconut milk added a subtle sweetness and creaminess that perfectly complemented the savory pork and shrimp. It was also really easy to make - I had it on the table in under 3

[email protected]Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The pork and shrimp were cooked perfectly and the coconut milk sauce was flavorful. However, I found it to be a bit too oily. I would probably drain off some of the oil before serving next time.

[email protected]This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. I also found the coconut milk sauce to be a bit too thick. I would probably thin it out with some water or broth next time.
