Triple Delight Recipe Overview
We begin by combining shrimp, chicken, and a variety of crisp vegetables to create a balanced meal that is both vibrant and satisfying. We start by slicing the chicken into bite-sized pieces. We marinate the shrimp and chicken with a simple blend of soy sauce and fresh ginger. Then we chop our vegetables into thin strips for quick and even cooking.
Next we heat a wok over medium-high heat. We drizzle a small amount of oil and place the chicken pieces in first. We stir-fry until golden. We remove the chicken from the wok and quickly cook the shrimp until they turn pink. We add the chicken back in, followed by the vegetables. We season the mixture with a touch more soy sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
We keep everything moving in the wok to ensure each component absorbs the savory sauce. We aim for tender chicken, plump shrimp, and vegetables that still have a slight crunch. The dish comes together quickly once the ingredients are set. Below is a summary of the typical cooking timeline:
| Step | Time (Minutes) |

| Prep | 15 |
| Marinating | 20 |
| Stir-Frying | 10 |

Preparation & Cooking Steps
- Marinate the proteins
We combine the shrimp and chicken in a sealable container with our marinade: soy sauce ginger and cornstarch. We seal the container and refrigerate to let the flavors infuse. We stir the mix every few hours so the proteins absorb the sauce evenly.
| Protein | Marinade Duration |
|---|---|
| Chicken | Up to 24 hours |
| Shrimp | Up to 12 hours |
- Set up the stir-fry station
We preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. We gather our prepared broccoli florets sliced carrots bell peppers and any optional onions for quick access. We keep our sauce ingredients (chicken stock soy sauce garlic and red pepper flakes) within reach.
- Cook the chicken
We remove the marinated chicken from the container and carefully place it in our heated skillet. We stir-fry for about 4 minutes or until the chicken looks golden. We use a spatula to move the pieces around for even cooking.
- Add the shrimp
We add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes. We watch for the shrimp to turn pink and slightly opaque. We keep stirring to prevent sticking.
- Incorporate the vegetables
We toss in the broccoli florets carrots bell peppers and optional onions. We stir-fry them for 2 to 3 minutes. We look for vibrant colors and maintain a bit of crunch.
- Pour in the sauce
We whisk together our sauce ingredients and gently pour the mixture into the skillet. We stir thoroughly so every piece is coated in savory flavor. We let it bubble slightly for 1 minute.
| Cooking Step | Average Time (minutes) |
|---|---|
| Chicken | 4 |
| Shrimp | 2 |
| Vegetables | 2–3 |
| Sauce Simmer | 1 |
- Combine and serve
We return any resting chicken or shrimp juices to the skillet. We stir everything one last time to ensure uniform seasoning. We remove from heat. We plate our Triple Delight over rice and enjoy the bold flavors without delay.
Serving Suggestions
We enjoy garnishing Triple Delight with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. These simple toppings add fresh color and a delicate crunch. We love serving this dish in a shallow bowl so the vibrant vegetables and succulent proteins remain the star of the presentation.
For added variety we pair our Triple Delight with stir-fried bok choy or a crisp side salad. Those options balance the umami flavors from the chicken and shrimp. For an even lighter twist we serve it over cauliflower rice instead of white rice. A drizzle of chili oil or extra soy sauce can further enhance the savory profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Triple Delight?
Triple Delight is a flavorful stir-fry that combines shrimp, chicken, and fresh vegetables. It offers a balance of savory ingredients, including marinated proteins and crisp veggies, all cooked quickly in a hot skillet or wok. The dish typically uses a simple soy sauce blend and optional red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. Served over warm rice, Triple Delight makes a satisfying meal for both everyday dinners and small gatherings.
Which ingredients do I need for Triple Delight?
You’ll need around ½ pound each of peeled and deveined shrimp and thinly sliced chicken breast. The marinade uses soy sauce, fresh ginger, and cornstarch. Vegetables include broccoli florets, sliced carrots, bell peppers, and optional onions. A bit of red pepper flakes adds heat. The sauce combines soy sauce with chicken stock and minced garlic. This mix ensures a tasty balance of proteins, veggies, and savory flavors.
How do I marinate the shrimp and chicken?
Simply mix soy sauce, grated fresh ginger, and cornstarch in a bowl or sealable container. Add the shrimp and chicken, ensuring they’re fully coated. Let the chicken marinate for up to 24 hours, while shrimp should marinate for a maximum of 12 hours. This extended time helps the flavors soak in. When you’re ready to cook, drain excess marinade and proceed with stir-frying for tender and tasty results.
What cooking tools are needed?
A large skillet or wok is essential for stir-frying at high heat. You’ll also need a cutting board for preparing raw proteins, a sharp chef’s knife for slicing, measuring spoons, and cups for accurate ingredient amounts. A mixing bowl or sealable container works well for marinating. Having all these items on hand helps streamline the cooking process and ensures everything is ready to go when you start stir-frying.
How long does it take to cook?
The cooking time is about 45 minutes in total, including stir-frying each component briefly. First, cook the chicken until golden, then add shrimp until they turn pink. Finally, toss in vegetables until they’re crisp-tender. This quick process keeps everything fresh and flavorful. With the marinade prepared in advance, Triple Delight can be on the table in under an hour, making it ideal for busy weeknights or quick entertaining.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes. Marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance and the shrimp for up to 12 hours. You can prep and slice the vegetables early, storing them in airtight containers. When you’re ready to cook, everything is set for a quick stir-fry. This make-ahead strategy is great if you have a busy schedule but still want to serve a home-cooked meal with minimal last-minute effort.
Any serving suggestions?
Triple Delight is often served over steamed white rice for a complete, comforting meal. For extra color and crunch, garnish with sliced scallions or toasted sesame seeds. Stir-fried bok choy or a crisp side salad also pairs well, adding variety to the table. If you prefer a lighter option, serve it over cauliflower rice. A drizzle of chili oil or soy sauce can enhance the savory flavors and bring more heat.
Can I adjust the spice level?
Absolutely. The basic recipe calls for a pinch of red pepper flakes, but you can use more or less based on your heat preference. If you love extra spicy dishes, adding fresh chili peppers or a splash of chili oil can give it a bolder kick. Conversely, if you’re sensitive to spice, simply omit the pepper flakes or cut back on them for a milder flavor profile.
How should I store and reheat leftovers?
Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When reheating, gently warm the Triple Delight in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave at half power. Add a small splash of chicken stock or water to prevent dryness. Stir frequently to ensure even heating. This keeps your dish moist, flavorful, and ready to enjoy again without losing its texture and taste.
