In a bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, salt, oil, and water, and knead until you have a homogeneous dough. Place the dough in a bowl and let it rest for 20 minutes. For the filling, mix the shrimp with the tomato, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. On a floured surface, form small balls of dough, roll each one out to a thickness of 2 mm, place the filling, and use your fingers to close it, forming a braid. In a small pot over medium heat, heat the oil and fry the empanadas until golden brown. Drain them on paper towels. Open the empanadas with the help of a knife, being careful not to break them. Serve with mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, avocado, and lime. Enjoy.
