Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, mesquite rub, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Add shrimp to the marinade and toss until evenly coated.

Thread shrimp and pieces of green bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and sweet onion onto the soaked skewers, leaving space between each piece.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.

Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives before serving.
