Rinse the jasmine rice a few times under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and results in looser rice.
Place the rice in the rice cooker and add the coconut milk and the water. Stir briefly, then turn the rice cooker on. Let it do its job until it automatically switches to the keep-warm setting.
Meanwhile, peel the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, a pinch of chili flakes and the grated ginger.
Heat a splash of sunflower oil in a frying pan over high heat. Cook the shrimp 1 to 2 minutes per side until they are pink and cooked through. Add the garlic in the last 30 seconds and fry briefly.
Deglaze the pan with a tablespoon of fish sauce and a small splash of lime juice. Stir well and remove the pan from the heat.
Peel the mango and cut the flesh into thin slices or cubes.
Spoon the coconut rice into deep plates or bowls. Top with the shrimp and arrange the mango alongside. Garnish with fresh cilantro, roasted sesame seeds and a lime slice. Serve immediately and enjoy.

A rice cooker really makes dishes like this much more relaxed. No watching pans, no burnt bottoms and no half-cooked rice. You turn it on, you get on with your shrimp, and when everything's ready there's a perfect plate on the table. That's cooking as it should be.
No mango at home? Use fresh pineapple or papaya instead — they go just as well with the creamy coconut rice. And if you don't like shrimp, you can easily make this recipe with thin strips of chicken or firm tofu. Taste, adjust to your liking and share it with whoever you want.
