Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. This will be your marinade/sauce.

    Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring all shrimp are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator to absorb the flavors.

      While the shrimp is marinating, prepare your cooking space and gather any serving dishes you may need.

        Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if necessary to prevent sticking.

          Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet, discarding any leftover marinade. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink.

            Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked (opaque and firm to the touch).

              Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, then remove from heat.

                Serve the shrimp on a plate, garnishing with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra crunch and flavor.
