Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large pot of well salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain; return to pot; cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, melt 1 T. butter; add garlic, shrimp, and 2 T. parsley; season with salt. Cook until shrimp is pink and no longer opaque, 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a plate/platter, keeping all juices in skillet.
Add remaining 2 T. butter to the skillet to let melt; add flour; whisk until golden, 1 - 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken stock/broth; bring to a simmer. Stir in 3/4 c. mozzarella and 1/4 c. Parmesan until creamy; season with salt and pepper.
Return shrimp to skillet; add tomatoes and cooked penne; toss until combined. More milk can be added if mixture is too thick.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. mozzarella and 2 T. Parmesan cheeses; bake until melted, 5 - 7 minutes. Broil 2 - 3 more minutes until top is golden, watching carefully to be sure that it doesn't burn.
Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve immediately.
