Cook the shrimp until they turn orange, then remove them from the pan.

Pour in the Filipino-style tomato sauce (250g) into the pan.

Add oyster sauce (approximately 3 tablespoons) to the sauce.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Add chopped bell pepper to the sauce and stir.

Add about 2 tablespoons of water to thin the sauce slightly.

Let the bell pepper cook for about 2 minutes.

Crack 2 eggs into the sauce and mix them in.
