2 tablespoons ginger, finely grated
2 tablespoons honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped

Directions

- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the ginger-soy mixture over the shrimp, stirring continuously to coat the shrimp evenly.
- Continue cooking the shrimp until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the shrimp well, approximately 2-3 additional minutes.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the shrimp, tossing briefly to combine, then remove from heat.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables, ensuring each serving gets an equal amount of sauce and garnishes.

Plump, tender shrimp get quickly seared until perfectly pink, then coated in a glossy sauce where sweet honey balances savory soy sauce while fresh ginger adds warming, aromatic spice.
