2. When the water is at a good rolling boil add the Corn and Potatoes.
3. 5 minutes later add the clams.
4. 5 minutes more and the shrimp and smoked sausage.
5. Let them go for another 5 minutes and take it off the heat and out of the pot.

We like to have a loaf of good crusty bread to soak up the briny broth! This recipe serves 5 adults nicely. For about $40 you can have a hearty meal with a Summer Shore feel to it!
