Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating Hot Honey Fried Shrimp is quite straightforward when you follow these steps:

  1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, soak the peeled and deveined shrimp in buttermilk for about 15-20 minutes. This will add flavor and tenderness.
  2. Prepare the Dry Mixture: In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or skillet, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Coat the Shrimp: Remove the shrimp from buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture until fully coated.
  5. Fry the Shrimp: Carefully place the coated shrimp in the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway through.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer fried shrimp to a wire rack or paper towel-lined platter to drain excess oil.
  7. Make Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and hot sauce. Stir until warm and well-mixed, adjusting the hot sauce amount to your taste.
  8. Coat the Shrimp: Toss the fried shrimp in the hot honey sauce until evenly coated.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired for added color and flavor.
