Rinse the shrimp under cold water and gently pat them dry with paper towels.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. Stir in cornstarch if using.

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer.

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns vibrant pink.

Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp, tossing to coat.

Reduce heat slightly and let the shrimp simmer for another 3-5 minutes until fully cooked and sauce has thickened.

Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
