Arrange the potatoes in the bottom of a large pot. Add a layer of clams on top, then mussels, and finally shrimp. Pour in vermouth and enough chicken broth to fill the pot halfway; you may not need all the broth, depending on your pot size. Cut a half cup of butter into cubes and place it over the seafood. Cover with a lid and seal tightly with aluminum foil.
