Surf & Turf Dinner: Garlic Lamb Chops, Creamy Shrimp Penne & Broccoli

If you want a dinner that looks restaurant-level but is still doable at home, this plate has everything:

• Juicy, garlicky lamb chops with a light herb crust

• Creamy, parmesan shrimp penne pasta

• Bright, tender-crisp garlic broccoli on the side

It’s perfect for a date night, a special family dinner, or when you just want to spoil yourself with a rich, satisfying meal.

This recipe serves 4 people and is easier than it looks if you organize each part in simple steps.

1. Herb-Garlic Lamb Chops – seared in a pan then finished in the oven.
