In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until completely dissolved. Then add the Dijon mustard and molasses and stir well until the sauce is smooth.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are partially cooked.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Return the shrimp to the skillet, then add the fish stock or vegetable stock and stir well.
