Mix in the garlic and tomato paste. Stir in the rice until coated. Pour in the water. Drop in the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer about 20 minutes. Add the seasoned shrimp and the peas. Cook until the shrimp is pink, about 5 minutes; remove from heat immediately.
