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.
