Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss together the peppers, quartered lemons, whole and sliced garlic, chorizo, onion, 1½ tbsp olive oil, vinegar, thyme and 1½ tsp of the paprika with plenty of seasoning, and spread them onto a large roasting tray. Roast for 25 minutes, until the veg is charring and the sausages are cooked through.
step 2
Remove the whole garlic from the tray, add the prawns and put back in the oven, reserving the garlic. Roast for 5-10 minutes until the prawns are pink and crisp.
step 3
While the prawns are cooking, squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skins and mash well until smooth. Stir it through the mayonnaise with the remaining ½ tsp paprika and lemon juice.
step 4
Serve in a large dish, with a finger bowl on the side, and eat with plenty of the garlicky aioli.
