In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and water with a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and spread on a plate to cool.
While the quinoa cools, dice the cucumber and chop the parsley. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive-oil, remaining salt, and black pepper. Add the cooled quinoa, shrimp, cucumber, and parsley to the bowl. Toss well to coat everything in the dressing.
