  1. Combine the cornstarch in cold water and dissolve. Set aside.
  2. Dry shrimp well with a paper towel then place the shrimp in the food processor along with garlic then pulse a few times until almost pasty.
  3. Mix soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, grated ginger and garlic in small saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a boil and simmer until sauce reduces, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  4. Combine the shrimp in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.
  5. Add cornstarch water mixture and simmer until thick, about 2 minutes.
  6. Using rubber gloves (easier with gloves), form shrimp into 8 patties.
  7. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  8. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or as long as overnight.
  9. Heat the grill over medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
  10. Add the shrimp burgers to the heated grill and cook 6 minutes on each side.
  11. While the shrimp burgers are cooking, grill the pineapple slices for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  12. To serve, place a piece of lettuce on the bottom of each burger bun. Top with the cooked burger and 1-1/2 tbsp of teriyaki sauce, then top with grilled pineapple.
