Instructions

Whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and lightly curling. Remove the shrimp from the pan.
Pour the sauce mixture into the same pan and cook for about 3 minutes or until it reduces slightly and becomes sticky. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and stir to fully coat them in the sauce, cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp are glossy.
Remove the pan from heat. Top the shrimp with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, then serve immediately.

Notes

Shrimp can be substituted with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
Ensure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and just firm to the touch for the best texture.
