Grind fennel seeds and red pepper flakes in mortar and pestle. Combine with oil, grated orange and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Slice oranges in half lengthwise and then crosswise 1/3 inch thick. Thread shrimp and orange slices alternatively on soaked bamboo skewers, place in a shallow baking dish and cover with marinade.
