Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Bring Lamb chops to room temperature while making the marinade.
Combine all ingredients for the Lamb in a small bowl. Spoon mixture over both sides of the lamb.
Grill Lamb chops for 3-4 minutes on each side then let rest while making the chimichurri.
Rough Chop Parsley, Cilantro, and Oregano. Chop Shallot. Add all ingredients to a food processor. Using the chop setting on the food processor, chop until all ingredients are combined. This can also be done by hand but finely chopping all ingredients and mixing together in a bowl.
