Place water in a large boiler pot. Add all ingredients except shrimp, corn and potatoes. Cover and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Add sausage and corn to the pot and continue to boil for another 10 minutes. Add shrimp and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. The longer the shrimp soak the more flavorful they become. In order to stop the cooking process you will need to add ice to the pot. Drain. Serve with Cocktail Sauce.
