Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoon milk
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, butter, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Heat over low heat until the butter melts and the sauce is well combined. Set aside.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.

4. Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, then dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

5. In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F. Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain the fried shrimp on paper towels.

6. Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the fried shrimp and serve immediately, savoring the perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors.

Notes

To ensure the best results, consider these helpful tips:

For maximum juiciness and flavor, opt for fresh, large shrimp. Frozen shrimp can also work, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.

Tailor the heat of the hot honey sauce to your preference by adjusting the amount of hot sauce used. Start with a small amount and gradually increase to achieve your desired level of spiciness.

Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F to ensure the shrimp cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can cause the oil temperature to drop and result in soggy shrimp.
