Not Your Average Bruschetta

Bruschetta with Shrimp, Tarragon, and Arugula (Minus the Tarragon..)

The fresh bread that you choose can really make or break this dish.  A nice crusty ciabatta or whole wheat pane Italian bread work great!  I would make garlic bread this way from now on too with the fresh garlic rub.  "I couldn't tell you even if you had a gun to my head where we keep the tarragon
or even what the hell that is", Brad Paisley.  I didn't have fresh tarragon in the house so I omitted it and it came out just fine.  I actually do know that tarragon tastes a lot like licorice (anise), some people may not enjoy the strong flavor it leaves on your palate.  Definitely one that's better the first time and not for left-overs so you get a crunchy delicious bight every time.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
