In a skillet heat butter, sauté onion, & garlic over med. heat until translucent. Add tomatoes, cardamon, cloves and pepper. Cook about 8 more min. Add h.o.p. & cook until liquid has evaporated.(5 min) Set aside and let cool.(can be refridgerated overnight.)
Preheat oven to 400*. Put 1 TB. of filling in center of dough that has been cut in 4 in. squares. Put shrimp on top. Moisten 2 edges of dough with the glaze mixture and form into triangles. Seal edges with a fork.
Place empanadas on baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush with remaining glaze & bake for 25 min. or until golden brown. Can also be fried.
Transfer to wire rack and cool slightly. Serve warm. After cooking allow to cool and they can be frozen and reheated in the microwave.
I make my dough, however you can buy a dough or even use prepared pie crust dough.
I generally make these once every 3 months and always put some in the freezer.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
