   In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the lamb lollipops.

   Cover the lamb lollipops and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the lamb lollipops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

   Serve the grilled lamb lollipops with tzatziki sauce, garnished with chopped red onion and fresh mint.
