Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb shoulder and mix to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
2
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the lamb onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
3
While the kebabs are grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Once the kebabs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the kebabs hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Offer warm pita bread on the side for wrapping the kebabs.
