“Plating:”

Start with a clean, white plate for a pop of contrast. Place two skewers per plate, arranging them in a crisscross pattern for an appealing visual. Add the fresh lemon wedge to the side for a pop of color. Sprinkle the dish with fresh mint leaves for the final touch. The overall look would be vibrant and inviting, highlighting the charred and colorful aspects of the skewers. Most importantly, the chunky, high-protein lamb pieces would be the star of the dish.
