Step 1
Toss lamb cubes with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Step 2
Thread lamb and onion chunks alternately onto metal skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high until it's smoking hot, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Place skewers on the hot pan and sear without moving for 2 minutes until edges char deeply.
Step 5
Rotate skewers 90 degrees and sear another 2 minutes, then flip and repeat until lamb is medium-rare, 8-10 minutes total.
Step 6
Rest skewers on a plate for 2 minutes, then serve immediately with extra lemon wedges and flaky salt.
