Prepare grill for direct cooking.
Drain lamb, reserving marinade. Alternately thread lamb, bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, onion and mushrooms onto 12 (10-inch) metal skewers;* brush both sides with reserved marinade.
*If using bamboo skewers, soak in cold water 10 to 15 minutes to prevent burning.
