Add the flour and Cajun seasoning, mixing until the ingredients are coated in the flour. Add the diced potatoes and clam juice and cover the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are just barely cooked.

Add 1 cup corn, clams, shrimp, and scallops and cover the pot. Continue to simmer until the seafood is cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
