Instructions
Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
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.
