Step 1
Mix peanuts, chili powder, ginger, garlic, lime juice, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl until paste-like.
Step 2
Toss lamb cubes with the spice paste until fully coated; let sit 5 minutes.
Step 3
Thread lamb onto metal skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking.
Step 4
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

Lay skewers in the pan and sear 3–4 minutes per side until edges blacken and lamb is medium-rare.
