Ingredients

Method

In saucepan, bring 4-1/2 cups (1.125 L) water to boil; reduce heat to low and keep warm.

In large deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion and celery until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat and toast grains, 2 minutes. Stir in wine until absorbed.

Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the water, stirring to prevent rice from sticking and scraping up bottom and side, until liquid is absorbed, 3 minutes.

Add two-thirds of the remaining water, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time and stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 15 minutes total.

Stir in shrimp, scallops, lemon rind and 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the remaining water; cook, stirring, until shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes. Continue adding remaining water, tasting before adding last 1/2 cup (125 mL); rice should be loose, creamy but not mushy, and still slightly firm in centre of grain.

Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, butter, salt and pepper. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving.
