- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, snow peas, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables.
Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
