1️⃣ In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger (if using). 🥄 You’ll use half of this mixture for marinating the shrimp and the other half for cooking.

2️⃣ Place the shrimp in a large sealable container or zipped-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp, then give it a shake or stir to coat evenly. 🦐 Marinate the shrimp in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, or for up to 8-12 hours. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade for later use. ⏰

3️⃣ Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 🌡️ Add the shrimp to the skillet (discard the used marinade). Cook the shrimp on one side until pink, about 45 seconds, then flip them over. 🔄 Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp is fully cooked through. 🍤

4️⃣ Serve the shrimp with the cooked marinade sauce, garnished with chopped green onion if desired. 🌱 This dish pairs wonderfully with brown rice and steamed vegetables. 🍚🥦
