Ingredients

36 large uncooked shrimp (about 2 pounds), peeled with tails left intact, deveined
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
6 metal skewers
2 medium green onions, trimmed
2 large plum tomatoes
1 teaspoon plus 3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar

  1. Step 1

    Prepare barbecue (high heat). Toss shrimp with coarse salt in bowl. Thread 6 shrimp on each metal skewer. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
