Lamb is a delicious and versatile meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of my favorite ways to cook lamb is to marinate it in a flavorful mixture of garlic, herbs, and lemon juice, then grill it to perfection. This recipe for Garlic and Herb Marinated Lamb Skewers is a great way to enjoy the flavors of lamb without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. The lamb is marinated for at least 30 minutes, but you can also marinate it overnight for even more flavor. Once the lamb is marinated, it is grilled over medium-high heat until cooked to your desired doneness. The skewers are then served with your favorite sides.

Why It Works
The marinade helps to tenderize the lamb and infuses it with flavor.
Grilling the lamb over high heat helps to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat.
The lemon juice in the marinade helps to brighten the flavors of the lamb and prevents it from becoming too dry.
