Place half the onion and garlic on the bottom of a large casserole dish with a tight fitting cover. Add half the clams, half the fish, half the prawns, half the spicy sausage, and half the tomatoes. Season with half the salt and pepper, piri-piri, and paprika. Repeat with a second layer. Mix the flour with the wine and vinegar and pour over the layers.
