For an extra layer of flavor, toast the sesame seeds lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the shrimp marinade.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets or sliced carrots, based on your preference.
If you don't have teriyaki sauce on hand, a mix of soy sauce, honey, and a touch of ginger can work as a substitute.
To make it spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
