In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, hot sauce, unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir regularly for about 5 minutes until melted and smooth.

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until smooth.

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

Dredge each shrimp in the flour mix, then dip in the egg wash, and coat again in the flour mixture.

Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

In a bowl, add the hot fried shrimp and drizzle with hot honey sauce, gently tossing to coat.

Serve immediately on a platter with extra sauce on the side.
