Step 1
Combine pork, paprika, cumin, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Toss until coated, then let sit 5 minutes.
Step 2
Thread pork onto skewers (or metal picks), leaving a 1/4-inch gap between pieces for even cooking.
Step 3
Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium-high until smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Lay skewers on the pan without moving for 3 minutes until edges char deeply and a golden crust forms.
Step 5
Rotate skewers and cook another 2–3 minutes until the pork is cooked through but still juicy inside.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate and squeeze lemon over the top. Serve immediately.
