Cook 2-3 min. or until rice is evenly coated with oil. Add shallots and garlic; cook 1 min. or until fragrant. Add wine; bring to boil. Cook 2-3 min. or until all liquid is completely absorbed by the rice. Step 2: Combine broth and sauce in large bowl. Add sauce mixture to skillet, reserving 1 cup for later use. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook 10 min. Step 3: Stir in reserved sauce mixture. Top with seafood; cover with lid. Cook 10 min. or until mussels have opened and rice is al dente. Finished risotto should be loose enough to run into a flat disk when ladled onto a plate. If the risotto seems too thick, add additional broth to achieve the desired consistency. Step 4: Discard any mussels that do not fully open during cooking. Stir in remaining ingredients. Serve immediately, topped with additional basil and lemon wedges, if desired.
