Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Creating Crispy Shrimp with Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce is straightforward and fun. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: If not already done, peel and devein the shrimp, removing the tails if desired.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour mixed with half the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
3. Bread the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs. Ensure each shrimp is fully covered.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. You need enough oil for shallow frying, about 1/2 inch deep.
5. Fry the Shrimp: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Make the Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest over low heat. Stir well until heated through but don’t let it boil.
7. Toss Shrimp in Sauce: Once all shrimp are fried, place them in a large bowl. Pour the hot honey sauce over the shrimp and toss until all are evenly coated.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor!

By following these detailed steps, you can achieve perfectly crispy and flavorful shrimp that will wow anyone fortunate enough to enjoy this dish.
