In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add shrimp and let marinate for 15–30 minutes in the refrigerator. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove shrimp from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges, fresh parsley, and your favorite dipping sauce (remoulade, cocktail, or tartar).
