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

In a medium bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. If desired, add cornstarch and whisk until dissolved.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and then add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are pink and opaque.

Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper, cook for an additional minute to absorb flavors.

Reduce heat and pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp. Toss to coat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa.
