contents This paper proves a 2017 conjecture of De Loera, La Haye, Oliveros, and Roldán-Pensado that the "prime grid" $\big\{(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 : \text{$p$ and $q$ are prime}\big\} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ contains empty polygons with arbitrarily many vertices. This implies that no Helly-type theorem is true for the prime grid.
