- Fresh mint - 15 grams, finely chopped
- Cumin - 1 teaspoon
- Paprika - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
- Cut the lamb shoulder into thin strips and add to the marinade, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, prepare the vegetables by tossing zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Once the grill is ready, thread the marinated lamb strips onto skewers.
- Place the lamb skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the lamb is grilling, place the vegetable skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let the lamb rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the grilled lamb on a bed of lettuce leaves alongside the grilled vegetables.
