Decadently Creamy Shrimp And Scallop Scampi With Orzo


I found myself without a car today and had to come up with dinner from things in the freezer and pantry. A quick inventory was pointing me in the direction of scampi but i wanted something a bit different. This is still very garlicky and yet the creamy cheesy sauce makes it somewhat comforting and very decadent. Served it with some steamed broccoli and crusty bread.

Steps


Melt butter in pan and add garlic and orzo.
Add some of the bahama mama seasoning.
Cook about 5 minutes or until orzo turns a golden brown.
Be careful not to burn it.
Add clam broth and water.
Cover and cook for about 15 minutes stirring occassionally to keep from clumping.
Add mushrooms , shrimp , and scallops.
Stir and cover for 5 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and cheese.
Cover and cook for about 5 more minutes.
Add salt , pepper , or more of the bahama mama seasoning to taste.
