2 Cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 ts Dried oregano
1/4 ts Ground cumin

Cover the chiles with hot water and let them sit for 15 minutes or
until softened. Combine chiles and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the water they
were soaking in, onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin in a blender and
puree to a smooth paste.
Saute the chile mixture in the oil for 5 minutes, add the vinegar and

Add shrimp to sauce and toss to coat, then simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until
the shrimp are done.
