taste better when cooked in their shells because the fat under the
shells preserves their flavor and tenderness.
When the shells
are crisp it is a pleasure to eat the shrimp with their shells on.
This rich butter
sauce cries out to be sopped up with crusty bread once the shrimp
are gone.

Grande
Recipe
2 packs Goya brand Para Empanadas (Doughy tortilla like disks found
in Winn Dixie freezer)
1 8 oz pack Kraft Mexican shredded cheeze
1 bottle Pace medium salsa
1 container sour cream
2 pounds hamburger meat
1 pack burritto seasoning
1 pack taco seasoning
Goya brand Adobo seasoning (with red lid)
1 foil packet Goya brand Sazon seasoning
Directions:
Brown the hamburger meat. Drain off excess grease and add 1 tablespoon
Adobo, 1 packet Sazon, 1 pack burritto seasoning, 1 pack taco
seasoning, 1 half cup water. Allow to simmer till most of the water is
gone.
Seperate the Empanada disks, (If frozen you may need to nuke for 45
seconds), and sprinkle on liberal amount of Adobo on both sides of
eack disk. Split the disks in half, changing them from circle shape to
half moon. Fold into pie wedge shape and crimp along rounded edge by
pressing down with a fork. This should create 40 Grandes ready to be
stuffed!
Stuff the Grandes with the seasoned meat, crimping them closed.
Deep fry until crispy.
Top with cheese, sour cream and salsa.
Warnings:
Top right away, allowing the heat from frying to melt the cheese.
If you are not cooking them right away, don't allow the Grandes to
touch, as they will stick together. I use wax paper to keep them
apart.
Let cool a few minutes prior to eating, but not too long, as they will
become soggy.
