Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the glaze.
In a separate bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and set aside.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the snow peas and baby corn. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, then pour in the sesame glaze. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.
