- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped dill pickle
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon horseradish, drained and rinsed 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 Portuguese or kaiser rolls, split open
- Shredded iceberg lettuce, for topping
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Butterfly the shrimp by slicing along the backs and cutting about halfway into the flesh.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl; add the shrimp and refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with pepper.
- Put the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
- Remove the shrimp from the egg mixture and dredge in the seasoned flour.
