Step 1
Warm broth in a pot over medium heat. Steep saffron in 2 tbsp warm broth for 2 minutes, then stir back into the pot.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add rice, stir constantly for 90 seconds until edges turn translucent.
Step 3
Pour in wine, stir until absorbed. Add warm broth 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly, waiting until liquid is absorbed before each addition.
Step 4
When rice is almost tender (about 4 minutes left), nestle shrimp and mussels into the risotto. Stir gently until shrimp turn opaque and mussels open.
Step 5
Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 2 tbsp butter and a pinch of salt and pepper until creamy. Discard any unopened mussels.
Step 6
Divide between bowls and serve immediately while steaming hot.
