Finely dice the shallots and the half chilli (remove the seeds for less heat). Finely chop or crush the garlic. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the courgette into half-moons. Trim the broccoli and halve lengthways. Finely chop the chives.
Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked. Trim the broccoli and add to the saucepan in the final 3 mins of cooking. Drain together and reserve 100ml pasta water (50ml for 1 person).
Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the garlic, chilli (to taste) and courgette and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the tomatoes, romesco and prawns and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the prawns are pale pink and cooked through.
Add the cooked penne and broccoli, reserved pasta water and half the chives to the pan. Season to taste. Cook for 1-2 mins, tossing to combine.
Serve the prawn penne on plates garnished with the remaining chives.
