Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, bring broth and 2 cups (500 mL) water to a boil; reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  2. Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat; fry onion, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat grains for about 1 minute. Stir in wine until absorbed.
  3. Using ladle, add ½ cup (125 mL) hot broth mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes, and adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a simmer. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, adding hot broth ½ cup (125 mL) at a time and waiting until liquid is absorbed before adding more, for about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in shrimp, scallops and remaining broth (should be around ½ cup/125 mL); cook, stirring, until shrimp are pink and scallops are opaque, about 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in peas, dill and lemon zest; cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Rice should be tender with a firm centre and risotto should be creamy.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, butter and cheese. Serve sprinkled with more cheese and garnished with dill sprigs, if desired.
