1. Drain pineapple chunks, reserving syrup. Combine soy sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, ginger, pepper, sesame seeds, onions and reserved pineapple syrup in a gallon-size zip-top plastic freezer bag. Seal bag tightly and shake to blend thoroughly. Transfer 1 cup of the marinade to a bowl.
2. Add shrimp to bag. Seal tightly and shake to coat thoroughly. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours, but no longer than 4 hours.
3. Preheat grill to high. Thread wooden skewers, alternating shrimp and pineapple. Place on the grill rack 4 to 5 inches from heat source. Grill until shrimp is opaque in the center, about 3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade.
Serves 4.
