Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and maple syrup.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry, then set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are just cooked. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Return the shrimp to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, tossing to coat everything evenly.
