Shrimp:
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
Mustard-lime dipping sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon English mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Shrimp:
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.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil and add 1/4 cup Old Bay seasoning. Squeeze lemon juice into water and add lemon halves to saucepan; return water to a boil. Add shrimp, reduce heat, and simmer until cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Drain and pat dry.
Just before serving, whisk oil and remaining 1 tablespoon Old Bay in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and parsley and toss to coat.
Do ahead: Shrimp can be cooked 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
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.
