To Make The Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the butter is fully melted and the ingredients are well combined.
3. Once mixed, cover the saucepan and keep the sauce warm over low heat until ready to use.

To Make The Shrimp:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
2. Place the all-purpose flour in a large gallon-size zip-lock bag.
3. Take six of the prepared shrimp and dip them into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Transfer the coated shrimp into the bag of flour and shake vigorously to coat them evenly.
5. Repeat this process, coating six shrimp at a time, until all shrimp are well coated with flour.
6. Refrigerate the coated shrimp for about 5 minutes while you heat up your deep fryer to 375°F.

Cooking The Shrimp:

1. Once the deep fryer is heated, carefully add the coated shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer.
2. Deep-fry the shrimp at 375°F for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp tails are dark brown and crispy.
3. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
4. While still hot, gently toss the fried shrimp in the prepared Buffalo sauce until they are fully coated.
5. For easy tossing, place the shrimp and sauce in a large Tupperware container with a lid and shake gently until the shrimp are evenly coated.
