Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish or 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and minced onion. Stir in lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
My Tip's: I've made it per instructed and at times I modifications. I prefer to use dehydrated "Real-Lemon" powder instead of lemon juice (it makes it less runny) and I double pickles (at least) but drain them on paper towel first, again so that it is not runny. I have also used horseradish instead of onion which gives it a different, but not unpleasant, taste. Leaving it to marry in the fridge is advised as it really brings the flavors together.This makes a yummy sauce for boiled shrimp or seared scallops.
I strongly recommend preparing this in advance, letting it sit in the fridge overnight makes a big difference. Thought it tasted too much like mayo at first, but the next day, it was perfect! Plus, if you make too much, it's good for at least another 2 weeks or so, as long as you keep it refridgerated.

Tips:

For the best results, use large shrimp that are deveined and peeled.
To make the breading extra crispy, double-coat the shrimp in the flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture.
Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the shrimp. If the oil is not hot enough, the shrimp will not cook properly.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the shrimp will not cook evenly.
Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
To make the tartar sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well blended.
Serve the fried shrimp with the tartar sauce and your favorite sides, such as french fries, coleslaw, or hush puppies.
