Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Aromatics & Garnish
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Green onion for garnish
Cooking Oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Make the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a bowl until well combined and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.
