Step 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium. Sauté onion until soft, ~4 minutes.
Step 2
Add garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add rice and stir for 1 minute.
Step 3
Steep saffron in 0.25 cup warm broth, then pour wine into the pan. Stir until liquid mostly absorbs, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in remaining broth plus saffron liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Nestle shrimp and mussels into the rice, cover partially, and cook until shrimp is opaque and mussels open, ~5 minutes.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper. Discard any unopened mussels and serve hot with lemon wedges.
