Pulse until mixture is blended and ingredients are finely chopped; set aside. Thread 3 pieces each of shrimp and sliced scallions onto each of 12 metal skewers. Lightly coat shrimp and scallions with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill skewers, turning once, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 to 4 minutes. Yields 2 skewers and about 2 Tablespoons of sauce per serving.
