Cut lamb shoulder into cubes and place in a bowl.

Mix well to coat the lamb evenly with spices.

Marinate the mixture for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, alternating with bay leaves.

Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until browned.

Baste with lemon juice and vinegar during grilling for added flavor.

Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Serve with rice or flatbread.
