Combine the quinoa, water, and a third of the salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat on the stove, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the quinoa simmers, place the broccoli and a splash of water in a skillet. Cover and steam over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until tender and bright green. Remove the broccoli from the pan and wipe the skillet dry.
Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant and the shrimp is warmed through. Done when warmed through, 145°F.
Stir the lemon juice and the remaining salt into the skillet to coat the shrimp. Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Plate the quinoa with the steamed broccoli and top with the lemon garlic shrimp and pan juices.
