Preparation

Step 1

Chill lamb in freezer for 10 minutes. Place in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over garlic and chop, occasionally smearing mixture with side of knife, until paste forms. Mix garlic, pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon salt into lamb, blending well. Add shrimp, mix to combine.

Measure 2 tablespoons lamb mixture; roll between your palms to form a 2" long oval. Slide skewer halfway into lamb mixture, pressing to adhere. Repeat with remaining lamb mixture and skewers. Do Ahead: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to high. Brush kebabs with oil and grill, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Serve with Red Harissa

Red Harissa - Makes about 3 cups

3 large red bell peppers
2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 red jalapenos or Fresno chiles, stemmed, seeded, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more for seasoning
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil.

Roast peppers in broiler or directly over gas flame, turning occasionally, until charred all over. Transfer to a large bowl, cover and let stand 15 minutes. Stem, peel, and seed peppers, coarsely chop.

Place peppers, next 4 ingredients, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor. Puree until very smooth. With machine running, gradually add oil. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
