Instructions
Bring clam juice and broth to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low; cover to keep warm.
Heat olive oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add shrimp; sauté 1 minute. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl.
Add onion to pan; sauté until translucent, about 1 minute.
Add garlic; sauté 15 seconds.
Add wine; simmer until absorbed, about 1 minute.
Add 1 cup clam juice mixture to rice; simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Continue adding liquid 1 cup at a time and stirring often, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender but still firm to bite, about 20 minutes. Stir in butter and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat vegetable oil in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Sear scallops until golden brown and just opaque in center, about 1 minute per side. Divide risotto among 6 plates.
Place 1 scallop atop risotto on each plate, drizzle lightly with truffle oil, sprinkle with chives, and serve.

Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
