Bring the water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the orzo and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. While the pasta cooks, chop the vegetables and herbs.
Drain the orzo in a colander and rinse under cold water until chilled through. Shake well to remove excess water.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooled orzo, shrimp, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, parsley, and dill to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients.
