Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, tamari soy sauce, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
Marinate the Shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a separate bowl. Pour one-third of the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the pan, discarding any leftover marinade from the bowl. Cook the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they are pink and just cooked through.
Simmer with Sauce: Pour the remaining two-thirds of the marinade into the pan with the shrimp. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, as the sauce slightly reduces and warms through, about 1 minute.
Finish and Serve: Turn off the heat. Stir in finely chopped cilantro or parsley, and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

Use gluten-free tamari soy sauce, preferably the low-sodium version for a healthier option.
For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes according to your taste.
If fresh ginger is unavailable, you may substitute with a small amount of ground ginger, but fresh is recommended for best flavor.
Serve over rice or noodles to complete the meal.
