- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust based on spice preference)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure shrimp are thawed.
- In one bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Coat each shrimp by dipping it first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot (test with a breadcrumb). Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown (about two minutes per side).
- While shrimp are frying, mix honey, Sriracha sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl to prepare the sauce.
