Shrimp Empanada is a savory pastry filled with a flavorful mixture of shrimp, onions, garlic, peppers, and aromatic spices, all encased in a golden, flaky crust. Originating from Latin American and Spanish cuisines, this dish is a beloved street food and appetizer often enjoyed for its rich taste and portability. While its hearty filling offers a good source of protein from the shrimp, as well as vitamins and antioxidants from the vegetables and spices, the outer crust, typically made with flour and butter or oil, adds carbohydrates and fats that may not align with every diet. Depending on preparation methods, such as baking instead of frying, Shrimp Empanadas can be made lighter while still delivering the bold, satisfying flavors and textures that make them a favorite across cultures.
