Paprika pea stew with prawns

As I mentioned before,green pea goulash stewis very popular with children in Hungary.  This paprika pea stew with prawns is a yummy, spiced variation -  my kids love it, as the sweet peas really go well with the prawns. I served it with steamed rice, but mashed potatoes or crusty bread would  work too.
