Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. In large sauté pan
over high heat, warm a 1/4 cup of the oil. Add the shrimp and sear quickly on both sides.
Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 1/4
cup of oil and add the yellow onion and sauté until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add green
onion, garlic, oregano and basil and cook for 5 minutes longer. Add the tomatoes, honey
