Master Receita Solta

Resumo para quem tem pressa
"A beachside specialty of savory pastry, this empada combines buttery and flaky dough with a velvety filling of shrimp sauteed in olive oil, garlic, and fresh heavy cream. It is worth preparing to savor the combination between the mild marine flavor and the soft texture that melts in the mouth."
O Que Você Precisa Saber
- Os camarões devem cozinhar rapidamente por cerca de 2 a 3 minutos até ficarem rosados para não ficarem borrachudos - A manteiga deve ser cortada gelada em cubos pequenos para assegurar o efeito quebradiço característico da massa podre - O corte pequeno na tampa da empada é fundamental para evacuar o vapor interno sem estufar a massa no forno
Ingredients
Main Course
- For the Dough:
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 250g cold butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of ice water
- 1 pinch of salt
- For the Filling:
- 400g of cleaned shrimp
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Main Course
In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with your fingertips until it forms a crumble.
Incorporate the egg and water, mixing until a homogeneous dough is obtained. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and brown the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink. Season with salt and pepper.
Incorporate the heavy cream and mix well until you get a creamy filling. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and line the empada pan, cutting a little larger than the size of the small pans.
Place a spoonful of filling in each mold and cover with the dough, pressing the edges to seal.
Make a small cut on top of each empada to release steam.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until they are golden.

Chef Tips
Variations
- Adicione 1 colher de sopa de salsinha e cebolinha picadinhas ao recheio no momento de desligar o fogo - Incorpore raspas de limão taiti ao recheio cremoso para ressaltar as notas frescas dos frutos do mar - Salpique um toque leve de páprica doce ou noz-moscada ralada na hora sobre o recheio cremoso de camarão
Substitutions
- O creme de leite do recheio pode ser substituído por requeijão culinário consistente ou catupiry tradicional - A manteiga da massa pode ser substituída por banha de porco artesanal para um paladar mais rústico e tradicional - O azeite de oliva pode ser trocado por manteiga de garrafa para refogar os camarões e acentuar o sabor
How to Store
Store the ready-made empadas in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To restore the original crumbly texture, reheat in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, avoiding the microwave.
Can You Freeze It?
The empadas can be frozen assembled and raw or already baked for up to 60 days in a rigid airtight container. If they are raw, remove from the freezer and bake directly in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35 to 40 minutes.
What to Serve With
Pairs perfectly with artisanal house hot sauce, fresh lemon wedges, and very cold coconut water or pilsner beer. In light meals, it accompanies a fresh salad of green leaves and hearts of palm.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to prevent shrimp from becoming tough inside the pot pie?
Cook the shrimp in the pan only until they change color; they will finish cooking gently in the heat of the oven without drying out.
Why does the empanada lid crack when baking?
This occurs if the vent hole is not made at the top for steam to escape or if the dough is rolled out excessively thin.
Can I use frozen shrimp in this recipe?
Yes, completely thaw the shrimp in a colander and pat them dry with paper towels so they don't release water into the sauté.
Do I need to grease the empada molds?
It is not necessary to grease, as the dough contains a high proportion of butter, detaching from the metal molds easily after warming up.
