Well I can assure you that this lamb disappeared as quick as a wink - I used a butterflied leg of lamb, marinated it overnight. Turned the BBQ to medium high, seared it on all sides then turned the burner under the lamb off closed the lid and continued to cook it with the second burner on high,turning often and doing a little basting. It took 1/2 hr and came out crusty on the outside and pink inside WOW Thanks Doraothy

Fantstically good! Found this recipe when I accidently bought a lamb shoulder roast instead of a leg of lamb. After this I don't think I need to go back to leg of lamb, it is that tasty. I also cooked it in the oven one day when it was raining outside and it was as good or better than on the BBQ (I put it in a pan with all the marinade and cooked it at 450 for about 30 mins.)

This was really fantastic! We marinated approximately 8 hours. Our lamb was flavorful and tender. I would have never thought to grill lamb shoulder and I really loved the convenience of this recipe. The prep took about 5 minutes, then I left for several hours, came home and grilled for 20-30 mins. This is a lot handier than having to stick around while the lamb roasts for several hours. I would definitely make this again. I served with recipe #106251 106251, which is my favorite way to serve cauliflower and worked really well with this dish. Thanks!

This was a fantastic recipe. I had never really enjoyed Lamb before trying it this way. I bought 4 tender shoulder chops and marinaded them overnight and then BBQ them on a very low temp. Came out tender and juicy! Thanks Derf!
