- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Lobster Mashed Potatoes:
- 2 large lobster tails (about 8 oz each)
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped for garnish
- For the Roasted Asparagus:
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Lamb Chops:
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the lamb chops with the marinade and let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the other components.
- Prepare the Lobster:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lobster tails and cook for 5-6 minutes until the shells turn bright red. Remove the lobster tails and let them cool slightly.
- Remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Make the Mashed Potatoes:
- In the same pot, cook the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and heavy cream, then mash until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
- Gently fold in the chopped lobster meat and keep warm.
- Roast the Asparagus:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest (if using).
- Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Grill the Lamb Chops:
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve:
- Plate the grilled lamb chops alongside the lobster mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped chives and serve immediately.
