Begin by rinsing the large shrimp under cool running water, ensuring they're clean and ready to cook. Pat them dry with paper towels.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil. Whisk in the cornstarch if using until there are no lumps.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil once it's hot. Sauté the prepared shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the cooked shrimp. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated. Toss gently for about a minute.

Reduce the heat to medium and let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for an additional 3-5 minutes until cooked through.

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish your dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
