To make these delicious empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of empanada dough (available at most grocery stores)

To begin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the empanada dough and cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Spoon a small amount of the shrimp and vegetable filling onto each circle of dough. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown and crispy.
