Lightly season the vegetables with salt and pepper and steam them in the microwave until they are just barely fork tender, about 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, you can steam them on top of the stove. Set aside.
While the vegetables are steaming, in a small bowl mix the SAUCE ingredients together: soy sauce, honey, water, black pepper, cornstarch, and the 2 teaspoons of oil. Set aside.
Into a large skillet or Wok over medium high heat, add in the 2 tablespoons oil, butter, garlic, and shrimp. Quickly sauté the shrimp until slightly browned on each side, about 1 or 2 minutes.
Add in the prepared sauce and steamed veggies. Stir everything together for a minute or two to heat through.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
