1
Prepare the Vegetables
Begin by rinsing the red potatoes and corn under cold water. Scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut the corn in half if desired.
2
Boil Water
In a large pot, fill with water and add a generous amount of salt (about 2 tablespoons). Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

3
Cook the Potatoes
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the red potatoes. Boil for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Remove the potatoes from the pot and set aside.
4
Cook the Corn
In the same boiling water, add the corn on the cob. Boil for 5-7 minutes until the corn is bright yellow and tender. Remove the corn and set aside.
5
Cook the Shrimp
Finally, add the unshelled shrimp to the boiling water. Boil for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook. Drain the shrimp and allow to cool slightly.

6
Plate the Dish
On a serving platter, arrange the boiled shrimp, red potatoes, and corn on the cob. Serve with cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
