Ingredients
2 Tbsp. honey
1⁄4 cup light soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. grated ginger
1⁄2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1⁄2 pound raw shrimp, peeled, deveined

Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Place the shrimp into zip lock bag and pour 1/3 of the sauce. Rub the shrimp into sauce and marinate for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add the shrimp (discarding any leftover marinade) and cook for 1 minute on each side, until pink and just barely cooked through.
Step 4
Pour remaining 2/3 sauce into the pan and bring to a simmer. Stir as it reduces and warms, about a minute.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and top with sliced green onions.
Step 6
On a toothpick, add jalapeño slice, a shrimp and watermelon cube so that the watermelon cube sits flat on a serving plate. Squeeze a little lime on top. Enjoy!
