Stir rice into boiling 3 1/3 cups water. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until done.



Melt butter over medium heat. Add shrimp, garlic, salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and done.



Add salsa, clam juice, and green chiles to shrimp. Mix well. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.



In a small bowl whisk together 1/4 cup of water with 2 tbsp flour. Stir flour mixture into shrimp mixture. Cook about 2 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened.
