    Mix yogurt, lemon juice, zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until oil flicks sizzle on the surface.

  5. Step 5

    Grill skewers 3–4 minutes per side until lamb edges char and meat is medium-rare inside.

    Remove skewers and rest 2 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon over top and serve hot.
