Directions
Empanadas bring me back to my summers as a kid spent in Puerto Rico. I ate empanadas (also known as pastelillos) every chance I could from street vendors. My favorites were the ones filled with lobster, shrimp, or pizza. You can fill empanadas with just about anything you can dream up, from leftover taco meat and pizza to buffalo chicken and pie filling you name it. These Lobster Jalapeno Empanadas couldnt be easier. Make sure to try some of my other empanada recipes like these Air Fryer Beef Empanadas, Chilean Caramelized Onion Empanadas and my Taco Empanadas.,,Although its really easy for me to get Lobster in NY, I really love the convenience of using frozen lobster claws. Crowd Cow sells shelled frozen lobster claw meat which is what used here. If youre not familiar with them, they ship raised right meat with no hormones and sustainable seafood, right to your door. I started using them when we were on lock down and continue to get crab legs, steaks, fish, tuna, scallops, etc. You can get $25 off your first order here.,Swap lobster for crab meat or chopped shrimp.,If you dont like spicy food, remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno.,Lobster Rolls,Grilled Lobster Tails with Herb Garlic Butter,Union Cantina Lobster Tacos,Lobster Cobb Salad,Chipotle Lobster and Avocado Wrap
