How To Make Pastelillos de Camarones (Shrimp Empanadas) | Dining Traveler Cooking Series

This video is brought to you by the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture. Check out their website for more information: https://nmprac.org/ For this special edition of The Dining Traveler Cooking Series, we're taking a virtual trip to "la playa," to the beaches of Puerto Rico. We're making frituras, the indulgent, crispy treats you can find throughout the island, especially at the beach. For this episode, we're making pastelillos de camarones (shrimp empanadas). Pastelillos de camarones are probably one of the easiest frituras you'll make! The pre-made disks you can buy at the supermarket work fine. Ingredients: 1 package of empanada disks (you can find them in the international frozen section of most supermarkets) Filling: 2 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/3 cup tomato sauce 1/3 cup sofrito 1 tsp sazón 1 tsp adobo 1/2 lb of baby shrimp (around 2 cups. If you can't find baby shrimp, chop regular sized shrimp in small pieces) Vegetable or canola oil for frying Instructions in video.
