Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove any residual salt and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, freshly minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in cornstarch until well combined.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers.

Carefully arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping when they start to turn pink.

Once the shrimp are nearly cooked through, pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp and toss gently.

Lower the heat slightly and let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for about 3-5 minutes.

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
