Drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Remove shrimp from bag; discard marinade. Thread 4 shrimp, 2 tomatoes, 2 onion wedges, and 2 bell pepper pieces alternately onto each of 8(10-in)skewers (hint - if you have enough double your skewers and "ladder" on the pieces so they don't turn around the skewer when cooking).
