Method

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and lime zest; mix to combine. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 5 hours refrigerated to marinate.
Thread marinated shrimp onto 8 metal or wood skewers, alternating with zucchini and chunks of red onion. (Aim for 3 shrimp per skewer.) Brush any remaining marinade over the zucchini and red onion. Place skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, arrange skewers directly on the grill grates. Cook until the veggies and shrimp are lightly charred, about 5 to 6 minutes total, flipping only once half-way through. Use a set of tongs to remove skewers from grill and transfer to a clean platter and brush the shrimp and veggies with SideDish Chipotle Ranch until well coated.
Serve shrimp skewers over rice with a side of SideDish Chipotle Ranch for dipping. Garnish with cilantro and serve with a wedge of lime
