In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and optional fresh ginger.
Place shrimp in a resealable plastic bag or container. Pour half of the marinade over the shrimp, seal, and gently shake to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, reserving remaining marinade.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet, discarding used marinade. Cook shrimp on one side for 45 seconds until pink. Flip, then pour in reserved marinade, cooking for another 1 minute until shrimp are opaque.
Transfer shrimp to a serving dish and drizzle with remaining sauce from skillet. Garnish with chopped green onion if desired.
Notes
This dish pairs perfectly with rice and steamed veggies to soak up the flavorful sauce!
