Ingredients

Bread – I used a French baguette, but you can also use sourdough. The key is finding a thin, crusty baguette. Day old is fine!

Shrimp – For this recipe you’ll need jumbo raw shrimp that has been peeled and deveined. Smaller sizes will work, but won’t fill the baguette as well.

Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce – A sweet savory blend of traditionally brewed soy sauce, wine, sugar, and spices, this teriyaki sauce has a delicious depth of flavor that’s perfect for marinating. You can find Kikkoman in the Asian foods aisle of your favorite retailer.

Edamame – Shelled edamame, also called mukimame, is the base of the hummus recipe. You can find it in the frozen food aisle at most grocery stores.

Tahini – Tahini is another key ingredient in the hummus, and can either be found near the condiments OR in the ethnic food aisle at your local grocery store.

Lemon juice – Lemon juice adds a delicious layer of flavor to the hummus. Either fresh or bottled juice will work well.

Olive oil – Olive oil is also used in the hummus. I used extra virgin, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

Garlic – Fresh garlic cloves add a delicious pop of flavor to the hummus. You can use minced garlic from a jar if you prefer.

Cilantro – Fresh cilantro is an optional but tasty addition to the hummus. If you’re not a cilantro fan, simply leave it out.

Salt & pepper

How to make Teriyaki Shrimp Crostini

Marinate the shrimp – The first step is to marinate the shrimp in Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce. You’ll want to marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours if you have time.

Bake the crostini – While the shrimp is marinating, slice the baguette into thin slices and bake them until crispy.

Make the hummus – Making the hummus is as easy as combining all the ingredients in a high-powered blender or food processor and blending until smooth and creamy. This step can also be done in advance and stored in the refrigerator for later.

Grill the shrimp – Once the shrimp has been marinating for at least 30 minutes, it’s ready to be cooked. I grilled mine, but you can also pan fry it.

Assemble the crostini – The final step is assembling the crostini by topping each slice of bread with hummus, grilled shrimp, and garnishes.
