Ingredients

1.5 pounds lamb shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Add the lamb cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and allow the lamb to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the lamb is nicely charred and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Adjust the level of cayenne pepper based on your preferred spice level.

Marinating time can greatly influence the depth of flavor, so plan ahead for the best results.

If you're watching your sodium intake, be mindful of the amount of salt used in the marinade.

Pair with a fresh, low-carb salad or grilled vegetables for a complete keto-friendly meal.
