Instructions:

For the Lamb Chops:

Rub lamb chops with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add shrimp, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, or until shrimp turn pink. Sprinkle with parsley.

For the Mashed Potatoes:

Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Mash potatoes with butter, heavy cream, and sour cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

For the Asparagus:

Toss asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Roast at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

For the Yellow Rice:

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add rice, turmeric, and cumin, and stir for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
