1. Step 1

   Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure.

   Step 2

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

   Step 3

   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.

   Step 4

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