Ingredients:
| 1/4 cup | mayonnaise |
| 1 tablespoon | drained horseradish |
| 2 teaspoons | ketchup |
| 1/4 teaspoon | cajun seasoning |
| peanut or vegetable oil, for frying | |
| 1/2 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 1 3/4 | teaspoons cajun seasoning |
| 1/2 teaspoon | Italian seasoning |
| 1/4 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| kosher salt | |
| 2 cups | sliced dill pickles, drained |
Directions:
Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
Fry the pickles: Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Spread the pickles on paper towels and pat dry.
Add half of the pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Remove from the batter using a slotted spoon, letting the excess drip off, and add to the oil one at a time. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining pickles and batter. Serve immediately with the prepared sauce.
