  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, arrange the shrimp in a single layer.

  5. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated. Toss the shrimp gently to combine.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for another 3-5 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
