Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a hot skillet, sprinkling a bit of salt and pepper on top. If you prefer less spice, feel free to skip the pepper. Repeat until all eggs are cooked, then set aside.

Make the Spice Paste: In a blender, combine shallots, garlic, red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, tomato, and candlenuts, blending until smooth. In a frying pan, heat a little cooking oil and sauté the spice paste. Add the shrimp paste and continue to sauté until fragrant.
