These honey garlic shrimp crostini are the ultimate party food, combining crispy baguette slices with tender, juicy shrimp in a sweet and savory glaze. Ready in under 20 minutes, they look incredibly impressive but are surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (21–25 count)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 French baguette
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing bread)
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled (for rubbing on bread)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds (about 20-24 slices). Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Brush both sides of each baguette slice with olive oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  3. While crostini toast, pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey and soy sauce. Set aside.
  5. Remove crostini from oven. While still hot, rub the peeled garlic clove over the top of each slice.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Swirl until butter is melted and bubbly.
  7. Add shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side until pink and slightly golden. Flip and add minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Pour honey-soy sauce mixture over shrimp. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats shrimp. Remove from heat.
  9. Zest lemon directly over shrimp and toss gently to combine.
  10. To assemble, place a shrimp on each crostini. Spoon remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and a pinch of flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Pat shrimp dry thoroughly to ensure a good sear. Do not overcook shrimp; they are done when pink and curled into a loose ‘C’ shape. For a thicker sauce, add a tablespoon of cold butter at the end off heat. Crostini can be toasted a day ahead and stored in an airtight container.
