Elaboration:
- Prepare the brothPeel the prawns and separate the bodies and the rest and in a large pan, add a splash of olive oil and fry the shells and heads. Add a little salt and when they are toasted, add the water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain. Set aside.
- Prepare the sofritoIn a large pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the onion, garlic and green pepper, finely chopped. Cook over medium heat until tender.
- Add the tomato and paprikaGrate the ripe tomato and add it to the pan along with the teaspoon of paprika. Cook for a few minutes until the tomato is well integrated.

Then add the stock from the heads and shells of the prawns, strained, the bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste. Cook over a medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
