Attack of the terror chillies

In this day and age apparently even chillies can be suspects in the so called war on terrorism. Given the epicurean slant of this blog and the fact that I'm a sucker for spicy food, I can't wait to try the article's recipe for Nam Prik Pao:

1. Heat garlic and shallots in oil and remove to a bowl
2. Place red chillies in the pan with some oil and fry until they go dark in colour. Then set aside
3. Mix shrimp paste with the rest of the ingredients and pound in a mortar and pestle
4. Return the mixture to the heat until it becomes a thick dark coloured paste

All I have to figure out now are the quantities of the various ingredients. Do let me know if you do.
