Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 300 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with a side of your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
