1
Combine the shrimp with buttermilk, a bit of buffalo sauce, and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate for about 25 minutes to 1 hour.
2
While the shrimp marinates, mix together the flour, cornstarch, lemon pepper seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt for the dredge, and get your frying oil heating.
3
Working in small batches, coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don't let them sit too long or the moisture will make the coating soggy.
4
Fry the shrimp in batches in hot oil, about 1.5 minutes per side, until deeply golden and crispy.
5
Mix the buffalo sauce with honey (or hot honey) to make the dipping sauce.
6
Arrange the fried shrimp on a platter, drizzle or serve alongside the honey buffalo sauce, and finish with lemon wedges and a pinch of salt if desired.
