Add 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce to the pan; stir to combine.

Season with 1 teaspoon of sofrito, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano; mix well and adjust salt to taste.

Let the mixture cook for about 8 minutes on medium heat until the sauce thickens.

Add the shrimp one by one to the pan, covering them to prevent overcooking.

Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

Add chopped cilantro on top, mix well, and cover for an additional minute before serving.
