Sauce
½ cup plain whole-milk strained (Greek-style) yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 clove garlic, grated (about ½ tsp.)
¾ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Skewers
1 bell pepper (any color), cut into 1-in. chunks (about 1⅔ cups)
1 small red onion, cut into large chunks (about 1 cup)
4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided, plus more for grill
2½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, patted dry and cut into 1½-in. chunks
1 lb. peeled, deveined extra-large raw shrimp, tails on
4 tsp. shawarma spice blend, divided
Finely chopped fresh dill and/or flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Grilled pita (see below) and lemon wedges, for serving
MAKE THE SAUCE: Stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, mint, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (If refrigerating for longer than 1 hour, you may need to add more water to get sauce back to a drizzling consistency.)
MAKE THE SKEWERS: Place bell pepper and onion in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt; toss to coat.
