What is the best pot to fry in?
I'm making fried shrimp for tomorrow so I'm looking to buy a pot that is capable of handling the high heat
Should I pick cast iron?

Cast iron is a good choice since it'll retain heat very well. Just go with that.

Enamel. Steel if you can get it, meme iron just adds useless weight. Burgers love their meme iron though, so it might be hard.
just get anything that says microwavable bro.

Damn, I could go for some falafel right now.

A wok
Pretty sure any pot in the market can handle hot oil

Yes thicker pans are better for deep frying.
I deep fry chicken in one of these.
You can also go aluminum, thick aluminum with a high btu outside burner if you are doing a large batch.

Carbon steel wok, dutch oven, or cast iron skillet, in that order.
