In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the shrimps to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the shrimps from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked shrimps to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the glaze. Cook for an additional 1 minute.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed shrimps to a serving dish.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
