Method
Thai Shrimp Cakes: In food processor, coarsely chop shrimp, ginger and onion, pulsing 5 or 6 times; scrape into bowl. Stir in fish and chili garlic sauces.
With wet hands, shape by heaping 1 tbsp (15 mL) into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patties. Place on plastic wrap-lined tray. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)
Pineapple Relish: In sieve, drain pineapple. In bowl, mix onion, coriander, red pepper, vinegar and oil; set aside.
In large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat; fry half of the shrimp cakes, turning once, until pink throughout and firm to the touch, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined tray. Wipe out pan. Repeat with remaining shrimp cakes. Transfer to platter.
Add pinapple to green onion mixture; spoon onto shrimp cakes.
