In a medium bowl, marinate the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 15 minutes.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot to 175°C (350°F).
Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain the fried shrimp on a lined baking sheet.
Drizzle the hot honey over the crispy shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve and enjoy!

Spicy Honey Glaze: Add extra cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the hot honey for more heat.
Air Fryer Version: For a healthier twist, air fry the shrimp at 180°C (350°F) for 6-8 minutes until crispy.
Vegetarian Option: Replace shrimp with firm tofu or cauliflower for a vegetarian version.
Crispy Coating: Add panko breadcrumbs to the flour mixture for an extra crispy coating.
Sweet and Savory: Mix in a bit of soy sauce or balsamic vinegar with the hot honey for a tangy twist.
