You don’t need a deep fryer to make coconut shrimp from scratch. You don’t even need an air fryer. When used at high temperatures, the Anova Precision Oven operates like an air fryer, and it makes recipes like coconut shrimp a breeze. Note: We made our shrimp in small batches, but you can use more than one sheet pan to make it more efficient. Just don’t overcrowd the pan too much — you want each shrimp to have some room.
