Prepare your shrimp by peeling and deveining them if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over high heat with olive oil or butter. Let it heat up for about 5 minutes before adding the shrimp. Cook shrimp for 2 minutes on one side, then flip them all, add your sauce and continue cooking the shrimp over high heat in the sauce until sauce has thickened a bit and shrimp are firm (about 3 minutes).
Cooked rice and steamed vegetables make a great addition to this dish. Garnish with green onion for extra flavor!
