Add the chilli flakes, half the paprika, the vinegar, ketchup, 1 tbsp water and prawns to the pan, then bubble for 2 mins until the prawns are cooked through. Stir through the parsley, saving a little to sprinkle over at the end.

Add the chopped coriander, 150ml yogurt, the lime juice and zest, and some seasoning. Toss together, then set aside. Mix the remaining yogurt in a bowl with 2 tbsp piri-piri sauce.
