Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and sesame oil to create the glaze.

Step 7

Pour the prepared glaze into the skillet and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the glaze.
