Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Mix into a paste.
Step 2
Add 1.5 lb lamb cubes to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
Step 3
Thread the lamb onto skewers, dividing evenly. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely charred on all sides and cooked to your liking (internal temp 145°F for medium-rare).
Step 5
Rest the skewers for 5 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
