Preparation:

Step 1
• Prepare the dipping sauce:
  
  Combine mayonnaise, chili sauce, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl; set aside.
  
Step 2
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or cauldron, heat about 5 cm of vegetable oil over medium heat until it registers 175°C on a deep-fry thermometer.
Step 3
• Prepare the shrimp:
  
  Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Dredge the shrimp, a few at a time, in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip them in the beaten eggs, then return them to the flour mixture, turning them over to create a thick coating.
  
Step 4
• Fry the shrimp in hot oil until golden brown, 1-2 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 5
• Toss the shrimp with the prepared sauce. Arrange the lettuce leaves in a shallow serving bowl or on individual plates. Top with the shrimp and sprinkle with green onions.
