3 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds (21 to 24 count) large shrimp, shell on
6 cloves coarsely chopped fresh garlic

Special equipment: wooden skewers, soaked in water for about 25 minutes

Steps:

Whisk together the paprika, ancho powder, brown sugar, cumin, garlic, canola oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl, add the spice rub and stir well to coat each shrimp.
Heat your grill to high.
Skewer 1/2 the shrimp and place on a grill pan to cook until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half of the green onions and transfer to a large platter or turnout onto brown paper bags. Wipe out the pan with paper towels, and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
