Add rice and stir until it gets opaque-y, or about 2 minutes. Add wine, chicken broth, and spices. Bring to a boil on high, then reduce and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the rice is almost tender. Try not to peek.
Stir in sausage, shrimp, fish, and mussels/clams. Simmer covered for about 7 minutes, or until the fish, shrimp, and mollusk of your choice are just done. Garnish with green onions and lemon.
