Stir in bell pepper, celery, and garlic; cook, stirring often, until bell pepper and celery start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice, paprika, salt, thyme, black pepper, cayenne, and bay leaf; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. 3. Stir tomatoes and reserved 3 cups shrimp stock into rice mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer gently until rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes, stirring once after about 10 minutes. Uncover and stir in reserved shrimp and cook for five minutes and remove from heat. Remove and discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with scallions and serve.
