Remove the lamb from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Assemble the skewers. Thread lamb, apricots, and red onion onto a skewer, alternating ingredients until the skewer is full. Repeat.

Place the skewers directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, or until the onions are lightly browned and lamb is cooked to desired temperature.
