For the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, relish, onion and Worcesters­hire sauce. Cover and refrigerat­e until ready to use. May be made up to 3 days ahead.

When ready to fry shrimp: in a large Dutch oven, heat oil to 350 degrees.

While oil is heating, make egg wash. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and eggs and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

In another medium bowl, make breading. Whisk together corn flour or cornmeal, flour and salt. Set aside.

Working in small batches, put shrimp into egg wash and leave 15 seconds. Remove from egg wash, allow excess egg wash to drip off and put shrimp in breading. Toss to coat shrimp evenly, tap lightly to remove excess breading and carefully add to hot oil. Cook until shrimp has turned golden brown, about 2 minutes. Do not crowd pan. Remove from oil and drain. Continue until all shrimp is cooked. Discard remaining egg wash and breading. Serve hot with lemon wedges and tartar sauce. Makes: 1 1/2 cups tartar sauce and 4 servings fried shrimp
