In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Dip each shrimp into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the shrimp and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes over low heat.

Stir until heated through and well combined, then remove from heat.

Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the fried shrimp before serving.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
