Crispy Hot Honey Fried Shrimp Recipe for Seafood Lovers

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp – peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup hot honey
  • Vegetable oil – for frying

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Whisk thoroughly until well mixed.
  3. Pour the buttermilk into another bowl. Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, before transferring to the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.
  4. In a large pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few shrimp into the pot, being cautious not to overcrowd. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and float to the surface.
  6. Using tongs, remove the shrimp and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. In a mixing bowl, drizzle the hot honey over the fried shrimp and toss to coat evenly.
