Albondigas De Camarones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb shrimp
    3 tablespoons corn, cooked
    1 tablespoon onion, minced
    1 tablespoon tomatoes, minced
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon flour
    1 egg yolk
    1 teaspoon coriander seed, ground
    1 tablespoon ancho chili, rehydrated and pureed (optional)
    1/4 cup onion, sliced
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 lb tomatoes, chopped
    3 chipotle chiles in adobo, julienned
    6 cups clam broth (or 6 cups fish stock)
    12 sprigs cilantro
Preparation
    Using a food processor or blender mince shrimp using on/off turns. Put into bowl and combine with next 9 ingredients (corn - ancho chile). Mix together and place bowl in a larger bowl which is filled with ice and water so mixture will stay cold.
    In a large pot over medium heat add oil and then saute the sliced onions and garlic. Stir in tomatoes and chipotles, cover and cook for another 25-30 minutes.
    Stir in clam juice or fish stock and bring to a boil.
    Divide shrimp mixture into 12 rounded spoonfuls and poach in the soup for 5 minutes, adding additional clam juice until soup becomes too thick.
    Serve in bowl garnished with cilantro.
