Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 4 lamb chops and 8 oz scallops dry with paper towels. Season both generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the lamb chops and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and rest.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, add the scallops and sear until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside with the lamb.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter. Add the 8 oz asparagus (trimmed), 1 zucchini (sliced), 2 carrots (sliced), and 4 oz mushrooms (halved). Sauté until tender-crisp, about 6-8 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return the lamb and scallops to the skillet with any juices. Toss everything together for 1 minute to warm through.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, spooning the pan juices over the top and garnishing with chopped parsley if desired.
