Instructions

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, water, and cornstarch until smooth.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables.

Notes

For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to achieve a good sear.
This dish pairs well with steamed broccoli or a fresh green salad.
