Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
~10 min - 2
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and cover. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
~30 min - 3
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the feta yogurt. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped fresh mint. Stir until well combined.
~5 min - 4
Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers. Discard any excess marinade.
~10 min - 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
~12 min - 6
Serve the hot lamb skewers immediately with the feta yogurt sauce on the side.
Tips
- For easier grilling, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
- The feta yogurt sauce can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. It also makes a great dip for grilled vegetables.
