Place chiles in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. (You may need to add a little of the soaking liquid.).


Press through a fine sieve to remove large pieces. Set aside.


In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat.


Add garlic and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.


Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a plate and set aside.


Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and shrimp to skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until opaque and just cooked through.


Transfer shrimp to plate with garlic and set aside.


Add wine, broth, and 3/4 cup of the reserved chile purée. (Save remaining chile purée for another use.)


Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until sauce thickens, whisking often.


Add garlic and shrimp back to skillet and cook until warmed through.
