Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Cooked white or brown rice, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until well blended.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to fully coat in the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for richer flavor.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

        Sear the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side without stirring, until they turn pink and start to caramelize. Flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

          Add the Sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the shrimp.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve over a bed of cooked rice to soak up the delicious glaze.
