  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic and paprika for 2 mins, stirring constantly, then add the tomatoes and peppers and cook for another 2 mins.
  2. Stir in the prawns and parsley and cook for 1-2 mins more until the prawns are just pink and cooked through. Season well and serve immediately with a dollop of aïoli (if using), the lemon wedges and bread or rice to mop up the juices, if you like.
