My Target freezer run just got dramatically more “put it on a little plate and call it dinner.”
Emma Hernan’s Coast to Coast Kitchen has launched Lobster Empanadas, Sweet Chili Shrimp Empanadas, and a new Crab Rangoon at Target. The two empanada flavors were developed exclusively for the retailer, according to the brand’s September 16 announcement.
There are two new seafood empanada flavors
The Lobster Empanadas pair lobster with cream cheese and savory seafood flavor. The current Target listing shows an eight-count, 8-ounce package.
The Sweet Chili Shrimp Empanadas are also sold in an eight-count, 8-ounce package. Coast to Coast Kitchen says the lobster flavor nods to Hernan’s Massachusetts upbringing, while the sweet-chili shrimp flavor reflects her years in California.
Target displayed both empanada packages at $5.99 when checked September 17, 2026. Prices, stock, and fulfillment options can vary by location, so use your store in the Target app or website before planning the freezer haul.
Crab Rangoon is joining the launch
The third new item is frozen Crab Rangoon. Coast to Coast Kitchen connects that one to Hernan’s grandfather, a chef who made a crab-and-lobster spread for family gatherings.
The three additions expand a seafood appetizer line that arrived at Target in February 2026. The current lineup already includes New England Crab Cakes, Bacon Scallops, Shrimp Spring Rolls, and Crab Minis.
So this is less “one celebrity product appeared in one random freezer” and more a full appetizer strategy. You could pick one new box for movie night, or let every person choose a different appetizer and avoid pretending the group will agree.
The brand says the rollout is nationwide
Coast to Coast Kitchen says the new products are available at Target stores nationwide, including Alaska and Hawaii. That is the announced rollout scope, not a promise that every flavor is sitting in every freezer today.
Target’s own listings are already live, which is the useful part. Set your store first, then check pickup or delivery availability for the exact flavor. It saves the specific disappointment of making a special trip and discovering someone else cleared the shelf.
Here is the honest tasting note
We have not tried these yet. I am not going to tell you the lobster filling is rich, the shell is crispy, or the sweet chili flavor has the perfect kick when I do not know that.
What we can confirm is simpler: the products are real, the exact Target listings are live, the boxes are eight-count packages, and the brand announced a nationwide rollout. From there, your freezer and your air fryer get to make the final decision.
If Target treats are your favorite kind of news, the retailer also recently added Ritter Sport Duos in two-flavor bars.
