You showed respect.
This would be the way it would normally be said by a native English speaker in this kind of situation. "Me," "to me," "toward me," would all be understood from the context.

: Yes, but nothing wrong with "you showed me respect" which makes the meaning clearer

I appreciate the “agree,” but I also think it less likely that a native speaker would actually say, “You showed me respect” in a two-person dialogue within the context indicated. Not impossible. Just less likely, in my view.
