Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet; reducing heat to medium-low. Add shallot and garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
Add uncooked orzo to shallot mixture; stir to coat. Stir in vinegar; cook and stir until liquid is absorbed. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; gently simmer, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes or until orzo is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
