To prepare HEB Camarones Al Coco, you can use your oven, air fryer, or a conventional fryer. For oven baking, spread the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet and heat until golden brown and crispy. If using an air fryer, arrange them in a single layer and cook until heated through and crisp. For frying, heat oil to the recommended temperature and fry the shrimp in batches until they float and are golden. Ensure they are heated thoroughly before serving.
