In a large cooking pot, heat just a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Add the Chorizo sausages and cook just until crisp (hard Spanish chorizo should be cooked already.) Remove from heat and place on paper towels to drain.
To the cooking pot, add onions, garlic and jalapeno, cook briefly until onions are translucent. Now add the spices and stir briefly, then add the shrimp. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook the shrimp for or until it is firm and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp.
Meanwhile, boil 2½ cups of water.
Return the Chorizo to the cooking pot and add the couscous, a little olive oil, a dash of salt and the boiling water. Turn the heat off immediately and cover. Let sit for . Uncover and stir in the fresh parsley.
Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy!
