Hot Honey Fried Shrimp

Hot Honey Fried Shrimp

Sweet, spicy, and ultra-crispy—these shrimp are addictive!

Golden, crunchy fried shrimp drizzled in a sticky hot honey glaze—this is the kind of flavor-packed appetizer or snack that steals the show. The tender shrimp are soaked in buttermilk for extra juiciness, then coated in a seasoned flour blend and fried until perfectly crisp. The finishing touch? A quick hot honey sauce that brings the sweet heat. Serve them up fresh for the ultimate bite!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Oil, for frying

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Shrimp
    Place the shrimp in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let them soak for 15–20 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor.
  2. Prepare the Coating
    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat the Oil
    In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. Test it by dropping in a small pinch of the flour mixture—if it sizzles, it’s ready.
  4. Coat the Shrimp
    Remove shrimp from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, pressing gently so the coating sticks well.
  5. Fry to Perfection
    Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Make the Hot Honey Sauce
    Whisk together the honey and hot sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust the spice level as needed.
  7. Toss and Glaze
    While the shrimp are still hot, drizzle the honey-hot sauce over them or gently toss to coat each piece evenly.
  8. Serve and Enjoy
    Arrange on a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley, sesame seeds, or green onions. Serve immediately for the best flavor and crunch.

Tips & Serving Suggestions:

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon over the top for a zesty finish.
  • These pair wonderfully with a creamy ranch dip, garlic aioli, or even a spicy mayo.
  • Want a full meal? Serve them over a crisp salad or with fluffy rice.
