I wrote a program at
https://oeis.org/A000312
for just this sort of situation. But it turns out that it's not needed
here. The n-th prime is greater than 0, so k >= n+1 and hence you need the
n-th prime to be at least (n+1)^(n+1) - n^n. But even at n = 10 this is
275311670611 which is way, way larger than the 10th prime. So I think this
sequence is empty.
