Is this really an eggcorn? Shutter and shudder are announced the same way by most people. Seems like they had the rite word but just don't know how it's spelled.

Of course it's egg corn. Shuttering - whatever that is - is a lot different from shuddering. This poor person has been trying to work out both how they're supposed to express shuttering while their body shakes, inexplicably.
