Cajun cuisine is a fusion of French, African and Native American flavors and techniques. Cajun lamb skewers are a spicy and flavorful dish that's perfect for a summer barbecue or dinner party. The lamb is seasoned with cajun spices like cayenne pepper, paprika and garlic, which adds heat to the dish. The sour cream dressing is a cool and refreshing complement to the spicy lamb skewers. This recipe is a healthier version of the traditional cajun lamb skewers recipe, using lean cuts of lamb and light sour cream. Serve this dish with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.

Instructions

1.	Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while cooking.
2.	Season the lamb strips with cajun seasoning, make sure both sides are coated evenly.
3.	Thread the strips onto the skewers, making sure to leave spaces between each strip.
4.	Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat, add the skewers and cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until the meat is nicely charred and cooked to your preference.
5.	In a small bowl, mix together light sour cream, ranch dressing, chopped fresh coriander and crushed garlic.
6.	Serve the skewers with sour cream dressing on the side.
