I'm reviving this old thread because I think I've found a match for those shrimp (albeit with chicken) at Szechuan Gourmet on Steeles just west of Bathurst. We went there for dinner last night for the first time in about 10 years. It was very good old-school Canadianized Szechuan.
Their Crispy Ginger Chicken was out of this world. An amazingly crisp and light exterior, succulent chicken within, and a gooey, almost black sauce that was nowhere near as sweet as it looked (a good thing). I'm not sure if they have shrimp this way on the menu (I no longer order shrimp in restaurants), but I'm sure they'd make it on request. They give you a choice of spice levels; we chose medium but will go for hot next time.
The rest of the food we had was fresh and flavourful.
