Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix shrimp with 1 chopped garlic clove, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper. Set aside.

  6. Deglaze pot with wine, scraping up all the bits from the bottom.
  7. Add chicken broth.
  8. Add Cajun seasoning and potatoes, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  9. During this time, grill corn on a flat iron griddle pan with olive oil until some char marks show. Cut corn off cob and set ¼ cup aside for garnish.
  10. Once potatoes are nearly tender, add clams, shrimp, smoked salmon, corn, dill (setting 2 tbsp aside for garnish), cream, and the juice of 1 lemon. Let simmer on low for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  11. Taste for salt, pepper, or more lemon.
