In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of tomatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Shrimp or prawns boiled briefly in salted water until pink, then peeled and eaten plain, in salads or with a squeeze of lemon. These numbers are for plain peeled shrimp, which are lean and mostly protein.

Shrimp cooked in butter and garlic, as in a güveç casserole, or fried in batter has very different numbers.
