About

In Acapulco, fish meatballs are commonly served in a cone or basket with Cholula hot sauce (see sidebar below), a favorite condiment on virtually every table throughout Mexico. However, you can find plenty of great hot sauces today in supermarkets and specialty food stores, as well as in Latino grocery stores.

Ingredients

1 pound skinless red snapper fillets
2 large egg whites, beaten
1 teaspoon

Method

Chill the work bowl and blade of a food processor until very cold. Combine the snapper, egg whites, and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl and purée until smooth. Slowly pour in the cream, adding more if necessary until the mixture is firm enough to form into balls. Stir the shrimp, nutmeg, additional salt, pepper, and Tabasco to taste into the meatball mixture.
