Marinate the Lamb
In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, grated onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.

Prepare the Lamb
Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and add it to the marinade. Toss to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Skewer the Lamb
Preheat your grill or broiler. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

Grill the Kebabs
