By BobD

Ingredients

• Accompaniment:
• 4 SERVINGS
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
• 1 small red onion
• 24 peeled and deveined large shrimp (about 1 pound)
• Equipment
• 4 long metal skewers
• Orzo with Feta, Tomatoes, and Dill

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas)

Stir together oil, oregano, and 3/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a bowl.

Cut onion lengthwise into 3/4-inch wedges and separate layers.

Toss shrimp and onion with oil mixture, then thread 6 shrimp onto each skewer, alternating with single layers of onion.

Grill shrimp, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes total.


Cooks' note:

Shrimp can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan, about 6 minutes.
