Step 1
Mix peanut powder, cayenne, paprika, ginger, minced onion, 1.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper in a shallow bowl.
Step 2
Pat lamb dry. Thread onto metal skewers, leaving 1/4 inch between pieces for even cooking.
Step 3
Brush lamb with oil on all sides, then roll in peanut mixture, pressing gently so coating sticks.
Step 4
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Grill skewers 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until lamb is cooked through and crust is dark and charred.
Step 6
Rest 2 minutes, then serve hot with lime wedges and sliced onion if desired.
Tools you’ll need
