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 (I prefer it to the Old Bay). 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.
