Start by rinsing the large, peeled, and deveined shrimp under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil until well combined. If desiring a thicker sauce, sprinkle in cornstarch and stir until smooth.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, arrange the shrimp in a single layer and sear for about 2-3 minutes.

While the shrimp are cooking, sprinkle salt and pepper over them to enhance the flavor.

Once the shrimp are almost fully cooked, pour the honey garlic mixture over them and toss gently.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the shrimp to simmer in the sauce for about 3-5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds.
