- Make the marinade by combining the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and white pepper; whisk until well combined.
- Marinate the shrimp by pouring half the marinade over the thawed shrimp and letting it marinate for 20-30 minutes. Set aside the reserved marinade for later use.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and shake off excess liquid. Place on a few paper towels to pat dry. Discard marinade.
- Cook the shrimp by heating the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and sear on one side for 1 minute, then flip and sear the other side for about 45 seconds. Remove from the skillet.
- Cook the sauce by adding the reserved marinade to the hot skillet and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, for about 2-3 minutes, or until reduced and thickened.
- Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce.
- Serve the honey garlic shrimp over steamed rice, then top with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy.
