In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the lamb shoulder chops, ensuring both sides are coated. Cover and let the chops marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the lamb shoulder chops for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare). Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the lamb is resting, prepare the fresh mint sauce. In a small bowl, combine chopped mint leaves, white vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and water. Stir until well blended.
Serve the grilled lamb shoulder chops hot, drizzled with the fresh mint sauce. Enjoy!
