1. In a medium bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved.
2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb all those incredible flavors.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, use a slotted spoon to add the shrimp to the skillet, reserving the marinade.
4. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring it to a simmer.
6. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry, allowing the sauce to thicken, about 2 minutes.
7. Return the shrimp to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce, and cook for an additional minute.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

This step-by-step process ensures that every bite is infused with that sweet and spicy goodness. Remember, cooking is all about experimenting — don’t be afraid to make it your own!
