You can also make this in a Dutch oven in the oven at 325°F for 35 minutes or so, then transfer to the stove top and finish over a flame in order to get the socarrat. We cut back on the proteins when making this for two. Feel free to embellish with other veggies (bell peppers?), proteins, etc.
Serving Suggestions:
Each person should bet 2 shrimp, a couple of chunks of chicken and 2 slices of chorizo.
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked Spanish Rice mix [Zatarain's has mostly beans]
1-1/4 cups chicken broth
A small pinch saffron (optional)
8 large cleaned and peel shrimp
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into four pieces each
8 slices of dried chorizo (we use Andouille sausage, too)
1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives (from the olive bar, or canned)
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, cut into strips
1/2 tsp. Spanish smoked paprika
Dash of salt
Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Dissolve the saffron threads in some of the chicken broth, if using.

2. Combine Spanish Rice, chicken broth, shrimp, chicken thighs, chorizo, olives, peppers and paprika in a disposable (slick bottomed) aluminum cake pan. Drizzle with some olive oil and add a dash of salt and pepper. Seal the pan well with two layers of aluminum foil. Grill over medium heat for 30-35 minutes. Increase the heat to high and cook for an additional few minutes to for a socarrat.

3. When ready, serve directly from the pan to plates.
