Add shrimp, stir-fry 2 minutes; then remove from pan. Heat remaining oil. Add garlic; stir-fry to brown lightly. Then add all vegetables, except snow peas, and stir-fry to coat with oil (about 1 minute). Stir in stock and heat quickly. Then cook, covered, over medium heat, until nearly done (about 2 minutes). Add snow peas and stir in 1/2 minute. Return shrimp; stir in only to reheat (about 1/2 minute more). Stir in cornstarch paste to thicken and serve at once.
