For the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the chilies and bay leaves. Deglaze with sherry and add the tomato paste. Add the prawns and a little of the marinade. Fry briefly, then add the chopped tomatoes with their juices and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes. Balance the acidity of the tomatoes with a pinch of sugar. Season with salt and pepper and add the parsley. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, drain, and toss it through the wok with the sauce. Serve immediately.
