Step 1
Thread pork cubes and sausage chunks alternating onto metal skewers, spacing pieces 1/4 inch apart.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk paprika, minced garlic, lemon zest, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper until paste-like.
Step 3
Brush the paprika mixture over all sides of the skewered meat, coating generously.
Step 4
Heat a 14-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Sear skewers 2–3 minutes per side without moving, until edges char deep brown and pork reaches 160°F internally.
Step 6
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the skewers, add onion chunks to the pan, and serve hot.
