Add the chorizo, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt, cooking until the oil turns deep red, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chopped tomatoes (reserve the juice), bay leaves, thyme, and oregano, and cook for 1 more minute.
2. Add the chopped potatoes, 2 cups of water, reserved tomato juice, and another teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes. Add the chopped kale and cook until the potatoes and kale are tender, about 10 more minutes.
3. Stir in the shrimp and simmer just until they curl and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
4. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy!
