- Place corn, clams, and lobster into pot for 5 minutes. Covering the pot tightly.
- Add the shrimp and mussels to the pot for 5 minutes. Test the potatoes for tenderness. The lobster and shrimp should be opaque and the clams and mussels should be opened. If not, cook a few more minutes.

Splitting the lobster lengthwise down the middle of the tails underside keeps the tail from curling during cooking.
