Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds shell-on large shrimp
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 3 lemons, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon English mustard powder

Instructions

  1. Using kitchen shears and working one at a time, cut along the length of the backs of shrimp, cutting through shells and just deep enough into flesh to expose veins; remove veins.

  3. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Drain and pat dry.
  4. Just before serving, whisk oil and remaining 1 tablespoon Old Bay in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and parsley and toss to coat.
  5. Do ahead: Shrimp can be cooked 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  6. Mustard-lime dipping sauce: Whisk mayonnaise, brown mustard, lime juice, honey, brown sugar, mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl; season with hot sauce and salt. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce and lime wedges.
