Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper so they are ready to sear quickly.

Stir the sauce again, then pour it into the pan. Cook for 45-60 seconds until glossy and thickened. Return shrimp and any juices to the pan, toss to coat, and finish with scallions and sesame seeds.
