Steps:
- Make the filling: In a medium skillet heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-low heat, add the green onions and saute until lightly browned and tender, about 3 minutes, add salt, pepper, and Merquén, stir well and add the shrimp and cook until they are getting pink. Remove from heat and let cool, add the cheese and mix.
- Thawed the dough, separate carefully. Place 2 teaspoons of filling of shrimp and cheese. Close the empanadas, slightly wet the edge with water and then crushed with a fork to seal the edge. You can also make small folds, after sealing the edge, my favorite way.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to avoid splashing, test the oil with a piece of dough left over, get out to the surface and brown quickly in about 1 minute per side, or 400F. Place the empanadas to be fried, 2 or 3 at a time. Allow to brown on both sides, remove to a plate with an absorbent paper towel and let drain 1 minute, serve and eat hot.
SHRIMP EMPANADAS (EMPANADAS DE CAMARONES)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, beat the water, egg, egg white, and vinegar together. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour and salt.
- Cut the shortening into the flour mix with a pastry blender or 2 butter knives.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mix and pour the liquid ingredients from the first bowl into the center.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients with a fork until the dough becomes stiff.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it just until all the flour is incorporated, and the dough is smooth.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but never more than 24 hours. If you want to keep the dough longer than 24 hours, you can freeze it.
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the tomato sauce and sofrito to a simmer.
- Pat the shrimp dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the shrimp into the saucepan with the tomato sauce mix. Add the cheese and stir thoroughly.
- Cook the shrimp until it turns pink, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not overcook the shrimp because it will become rubbery.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool before filling the empanadas.
- Roll the empanada dough out on a floured surface until 1/8-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into circles with a round cookie or biscuit cutter. For large empanadas, use 6-inch cutters, and for smaller ones, use 3-inch cutters.
- Place the shrimp filling by the spoonful into the center of the circles.
- Fold the dough over the filling into a half-circle shape, and crimp the edges with a fork. If the edges won't stay sealed, you can dip the fork in water before crimping or use an egg wash . Do not overfill the empanadas. They will burst, and you will lose your filling in the oil.
- Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy-bottom pot over medium heat until the oil reaches 375 F.
- Fry the filled empanadas at 375 F for 1 to 2 minutes per side. They should be lightly golden. Drain on paper towels. Cool slightly before serving.

BAKED MEAT-FILLED EMPANADAS (EMPANADAS AL HORNO)
To Chileans, empanadas mostly mean empanadas al horno, which are frequently baked in a wood-burning oven. The classic versions are filled with seasoned minced (not ground) meat and onions and garnished with hard-cooked egg, olives and raisins. They can be made either in the half-moon shape that they usually take throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, or in a distinctively Chilean squared-off form made by folding all but the straight side of the semicircular turnover to make a package that is often four inches across. The dough is made with lard.

Steps:
- Melt lard in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Add onion and sauté on medium until it barely starts to color. Add beef. Cook until ingredients are lightly browned. Add salt and pepper to taste, cumin, paprika and hot sauce. Set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Roll dough as thin as possible. Cut 6-inch circles. Scraps can be re-rolled one time. Place some meat mixture on one half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border around filling. Top with a slice of egg, some olive pieces and a few raisins. Brush egg on empty side of circle, fold dough over to make a half-circle and crimp edges. Traditional squared empanadas can be made by folding an inch or so of each of the pointed ends of the half-circle over to make straight sides, then folding up the rounded bottom to square off the empanada.
- Arrange empanadas on a baking sheet. Squared empanadas should be placed with folded side down. Bake 10 minutes. Turn empanadas over, bake 5 minutes longer, until lightly browned on both sides. Allow to cool briefly before serving.

CHILEAN EMPANADA
My mother is from Chile and these have been a staple of our household for years. I have searched and searched and never seem to find the right one, so here is our family favorite. My mom likes to sprinkle sugar on hers. I prefer a little mustard to dip it in. We all have our own cravings. This recipe makes about a dozen large empanadas, depending on the size.
