Thread the shrimp on skewers alternating every two shrimp with 2-3 pieces of green onion. If grilling later, at this stage you can refrigerate up to overnight.
Oil the grill grates with grapeseed oil on a paper towel. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, turning so the shrimp are golden with light char marks. Shrimp are done when they are opaque.
