When you have lots of time on your hands and want to make something fancy, delicious, and filling, then why not make this Surf n’ Turf dish with lamb, scallops, and potatoes!

I made this meal for my parents when I went visit them back home in California. Cooking in general gives me immense pleasure and having the opportunity to cook for my parents makes my day, I wanted showoff my newly improved cooking and plating skills, so decided to go this this surf n’ turf style menu. It takes some practice getting the timing right in order for the food to be served at optimal temperature.
