Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Cut the lamb shoulder into 2.5 cm cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
4. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
5. Thread the marinated lamb cubes, bell pepper chunks, zucchini slices, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients.

8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
