Instructions – Step by Step
1️⃣ Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
- Peel and cube the potatoes, then place them in a large pot of salted water.
- Bring to a boil and cook until tender (about 15 minutes).
- Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter and milk (or cream) until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep them warm while preparing the rest of the meal.
2️⃣ Cook the Lamb Chops:
- Pat the lamb chops dry and season generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and fresh herbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chops for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for desired doneness).
- Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest.
- In the same pan, add balsamic vinegar (or red wine) and honey. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the lamb chops before serving — this gives them that perfect shine and rich, tangy flavor.
3️⃣ Cook the Shrimp:
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika or chili flakes if desired.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and slightly golden.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them before removing from heat for a refreshing finish.
4️⃣ Prepare the Corn on the Cob:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, or grill the corn directly over medium heat.
- Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with salt.
5️⃣ Cook the Green Beans:
- Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
- Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to keep their color.
- In a skillet, sauté the beans with olive oil, garlic (or lemon zest) for 2–3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To Serve:
On a large plate, place a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes.
Top with two beautifully glazed lamb chops.
Arrange the grilled shrimp beside them, add a buttery corn on the cob, and finish with the sautéed green beans.
Sprinkle some fresh chopped herbs (like parsley or thyme) for a perfect final touch.

Pro Tips:
