As the first snow of the season was falling outside and also the temperature, I was not ready to stop the grilling season and was craving something tropical. I caved and bought a pineapple, green pepper and a red onion for this recipe and found my fancy skewers for a shish kabob. I marinated this lamb shoulder because this recipe requires to cook it fast. The citrus is used to break down the proteins in the meat which will make for a tender juicy meal!
