In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with the finely chopped red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic.
Add smoked paprika, cumin, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to the lamb mixture. Mix well using your hands to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and the olive oil to the mixture, and continue mixing until everything is well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Mold each portion around a skewer to form elongated oval shapes, making sure they are tightly packed.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
Serve immediately with a side of fresh vegetables or a simple green salad to keep it Whole30 compliant.
