Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Toss in the diced tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp start to turn pink.
Season the dish with fish sauce (if using), salt, and ground black pepper.
Pour in the water and allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
Optionally, garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
Serve hot with steamed white rice.
