Baking something that only gives frying directions?

I just bought some boxed frozen coconut shrimp (that I've been craving) and when I got home realized it only has directions for pan or deep frying. I won't fry them, so am going to try and bake instead. I have no clue whether I should try at higher or lower temp. Anybody ever try this. If so, what were the results? Thanks!

    i got some frozen samosas once with frying or microwave directions.

    i ended up putting them in the oven at 350-375, for about 10-15 minutes. i checked on them every few minutes after the ten minute mark to make sure they didn't burn.

    i'd say about 350 for shrimp, and watch them closely as shrimp can overcook fast! and nobody likes rubbery shrimp =)

    good luck!

    maybe you could pan cook them using a non stick pan, so you won't need to add any oil.

    Just so you know, they both worked well. The baked were just, well...... prettier! Thanks again.
