Speed - establish best glide
Spot - choose an emergency landing spot and head for it
Start - attempt restart, remembering that if you’ve got carb icing, leaning the mixture further may be the better option than going full-rich
Squawk - 7700 on the transponder
Speak - let ATC or somebody know you’ve got an emergency; if you’re out in the boonies, try 121.5 as lots of airliners monitor it
Secure - secure the engine as you described and prepare for an emergency landing
