Sauce
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, stirred

- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Shrimp Pops
- 1 lb ground pork
- 3⁄4 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1⁄2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
- 1⁄4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

For pan

directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients. Whisk constantly over medium heat until smooth and slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes; do not allow to boil or simmer. Remove from heat.
- Put shrimp pop ingredients in food processor and pulse until a chunky paste is formed. Pour oil onto a sheet pan and spread evenly. Using 2 spoons, form paste into quenelles. Place quenelles on oiled sheet pan, turning to fully coat. Refrigerate 30-60 minutes until firmed up.
- Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to high heat, or preheat broiler. Insert a skewer into each kebab. (If using broiler, do not use wooden skewers!).
- Grill pops over direct heat, or on grill pan, or under broiler, 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve warm with sauce on the side.

Got the email from Weber today with this recipe and low and behold here it is!! Was very good. I was deathly afraid these would fall apart on the grill. Not a chance, they held together better than burgers!! Made the meat mix 3 hrs in advance for the flavors to meld and let it chill until I made the quenelles, then chilled them again as the recipe stated. This is very tasty!! Also, made the sauce with Sunbutter instead of peanut butter as I am allergic to peanuts.Reply
