Instructions
- Prep your shrimp. If they're frozen, add them to a colander and run under cool water until thawed.
- In a medium prep bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together (honey, soy sauce, water, lemon juice, garlic, cornstarch).
- Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, stirring/flipping with tongs a few times.
- Reduce the heat to medium and then pour the sauce into the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce thickens up too much, stir in a splash more water.
- Take the pan off the burner, then sprinkle chopped scallions over top. Squeeze on some more fresh lemon juice before serving if desired and top with sesame seeds if using. If needed, season with some salt & pepper.
