Ingredients

6 lamb chops, about ¾-inch thick
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
Creole seasoning (or replace with paprika)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

Salt and pepper the lamb chops. Set aside.
In a food processor or mortar and pestle, blend the rosemary, garlic, Creole seasoning or paprika, thyme, and white pepper.
Rub the lamb chops with the herb mixture, ensuring each chop is covered evenly.
Place the chops in an airtight container in the fridge while marinating. Let the flavors penetrate for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge for best results. The longer, the better.
When ready to grill, bring lamb chops to room temperature. Remove the chops from the marinade.
Heat your grill or a cast-iron grill pan until hot.
Cook the lamb chops for 3½-5 minutes per side (flipping once) until browned to the desired doneness.
When the lamb chops are done to your liking, take them off the grill and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Serve!

Notes

When choosing lamb meat perfect for quick grilling, you choose around these three: rib, loin, or sirloin chops. Shoulder or leg chops need a marinade to make them tender enough for grilling.
Trim off any hard pieces of fat around the edges of the chops to reduce the flareups.
Let it marinate in the fridge in a dish or container covered with plastic wrap.
Adjust grilling time depending on your preferred doneness of the meat.
When you're done grilling, let the lamb chops rest for 10 minutes before serving them.
