When broth reaches a boil, lower heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Set aside. Meanwhile, finely chop the remaining 2 cloves garlic. In a skillet or wok, heat oil over high heat. Add garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 10 seconds. Ad reserved shrimp pieces with marinade. Stir-fry until shrimp starts to change color, about 1 minute. Add to soup. Pour about 1/2 cup of the soup broth into the skillet or wok to deglaze the pan, then pour it back into soup. Continue simmering soup until shrimp is fully cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle a few peanuts and cilantro leaves over each serving. Serve with side dishes of chiles, Vietnamese Dipping Sauce and the remaining peanuts and cilantro, so guests can adjust flavorings as they wish.
