3/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
36 large shrimp
1/2 large red onion

Leave about 3 inches on the bottom of each for a handhold.Step 4Brush the shrimp with hoisin sauce (use about 1/2 cup). If broiling, place the skewers on a broiling pan and place the pan about 4 inches from the heat. If grilling, place them on the grill. Broil or grill for 3 minutes. Turn the shrimp over, brush with another 1/2 cup of the hoisin sauce, and broil or grill for 3 minutes more.Step 5Place the skewers on a serving platter. Swirl some of the remaining 1/2 cup of the hoisin sauce over the shrimp. Place the rest of the sauce in a small bowl on the platter. Decorate the platter with the lime wedges and serve.
