In a bowl, mix honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook shrimp in the glaze for 3–4 minutes, turning to coat evenly, until shrimp are cooked through and caramelised.
Assemble the Tartlets:
Place 1–2 shrimp in each baked tartlet shell. Drizzle with remaining glaze from the skillet.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the shrimp and top with a fresh cilantro leaf. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Add a squeeze of lime juice for a zesty kick.
Swap out shrimp for chicken bites or tofu for a different protein.
