Prepare the Lamb
Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare the Marinade
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Marinate the Lamb
Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or ideally overnight for better flavor.

Prepare the Vegetables
While the lamb is marinating, chop the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Grill the Skewers
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender.
