In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water to create a sauce base. Add the cornstarch to the mixture and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the shrimp and vegetables.
