Place lemon juice and rinds into a large glass or ceramic bowl with red wine, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add lamb and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or up to 18 hours.

Remove lamb from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread lamb on to skewers.

4 . Stage

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Cook skewers, turning occasionally, on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat reads at least 130 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, about 15 minutes.
