Once the garlic turns golden, add the fresh shrimp and cook over a low-medium fire just until they turn pink.
Pour in the sweet and spicy sauce, reduce heat to low and cook until the sauce thickens(not too thick but still has a flowing consistency).
Taste and season with salt if needed, if the sauce should thicken too much, add a few tablespoons of water.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve while still warm.
