Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb pork ribs into 2-inch pieces, then thread them onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika. Brush the mixture over the ribs on all sides.
Step 3
Preheat a charcoal grill until the coals are glowing and covered with white ash, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Place the skewers over the hot coals and grill, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the ribs are charred at the edges and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes total.
Step 5
Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
