Add the peas to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to become tender.
Drizzle the honey over the peas and stir to coat evenly.
Add the lemon juice to the skillet and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are cooked through and glazed with the honey mixture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the butter to coat the peas.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh mint for added flavor and freshness.
