Special equipment:
An immersion blender- For the rice: Combine the rice and enough cold water to cover by 1 inch; let soak 30 minutes.

Transfer the tomato mixture to a large skillet and cook until heated, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Serve with the rice and sprinkle with cilantro.
