Rinse the shrimp under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the shrimp.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs in a second bowl, and place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shake off excess, dip into the whisked eggs, and press firmly into the panko to ensure even coating. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat (350°F for frying).
Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the shrimp from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, and mayonnaise to create the dipping sauce.
Serve the crispy shrimp immediately with the honey-sriracha dipping sauce on the side.
