Trim lambchops well and place in a large ziplock bag or bowl. Whisk next 5 ingredients separately and pour them over chops. Shake or stir to coat well.

Transfer chops to a serving platter and serve immediately. Top each chop with a dollop of compound pimiento butter.

Compound pimiento butter: ¼ pound unsalted butter, softened; ⅓ cup drained pimiento or roasted red bell pepper; 1 tsp fresh lemon juice. Whirl all three ingredients in blender or food processor until pimiento is minced and butter is orange-colored. Pack into a small bowl and chill until ready to use.
