In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed lamb and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cook the Lamb
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers. Grill the lamb skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to your desired doneness.
