Method : Cook the bacon during a splash of oil until crisp, then add the onion, garlic and celery. Cook until soft and beginning to colour. Sprinkle over the flour and cook, stirring until the bacon, veg and flour turn golden. Tip in the tomatoes, hack with a spoon, and keep stirring until everything is combined. Stir within the stock then add the pepper, thyme, cayenne and paprika. Season well. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened. Add the prawns and cook for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked through.
