Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing the large shrimp under cold water to remove any residue, then pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they sear nicely.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, low-sodium soy sauce, and olive oil until well combined.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes until they start turning pink.
  4. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper, and continue to cook for another minute.
  5. Slowly pour the prepared honey garlic mixture over the shrimp in the skillet, tossing gently to ensure that each piece is evenly coated.
  6. Lower the heat and let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Once the shrimp are perfectly cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
