Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add smoked ham, onions, and pepper, and sauté until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in saffron and paprika, then 725ml broth and rice. Bring to boil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes. Nestle prawns into rice, top with olives, and drizzle with 60ml (or more) broth to moisten. Cover and cook until prawns are just opaque in centre, about 6 minutes. Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
