Instructions

Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
Place the dough circles on a work surface.
Add the onions and jalapeno and sauté until soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Place about 2 tablespoons of lobster stuffing in the middle of a circle; brush the edges of the dough with the water or egg wash.
Add the lobster and cook 1 to 2 minutes until just opaque.
Fold the circle over itself, press the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal, and place on a work surface.
Remove from the heat and add the chives.
Repeat until all of the empanadas are filled. Brush tops with egg wash.
Quickly drain in a mesh sieve and set aside to cool.
Spray the basket with oil to prevent sticking, transfer to the basket, in batches cook at 325F° for 8 minutes, turning half way.
Serve hot with lime wedges.
