Steps:
- Melt butter in a large skillet.
- Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add orzo and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken broth and water, bring to a boil.
- Once at a boil reduce heat to a simmer uncovered.
- Meanwhile core, seed and dice the tomatoes and thaw and strain the spinach.
- Once the liquid in the orzo begins to absorb (about 5 minutes) add the tomatoes and stir.
- Let this simmer for another 5 minutes then add the spinach and stir.
- Cook until the liquid is fully absorbed (about another 15 minutes).
- In a separate pan sauté the shrimp and sprinkle with creole seasoning (optional, you can use whatever spice you like) until cooked.
- Add the cheeses and fresh basil, red pepper (optional) to the orzo and stir, then add in the shrimp and serve!
