The first thing we are going to do is make the sauce so we can start chilling it in the fridge. Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp dill pickle relish (You can use regular hot dog relish as well), 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp hot sauce (I used frank's hot sauce), 1 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp Mustard (dijon is more traditional but if all you got is yellow go for it), 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce and 2 garlic cloves, minced. Make sure to integrate it well and put in the fridge.

The second bowl combine 1 cup buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk you need a bonding agent for the shrimp so you can use egg as a substitute) and 3 tbsp hot sauce.

Now that your oil is up to temp, dip the shrimp in the buttermilk bowl then toss them into the flower. Shake off any extra powder. Toss the shrimp into the oil. They typically take 3-5 minutes to cook through depending on their size. Basically cook until the outside is golden brown.
