In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the quinoa rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the quinoa cooks, dice the cucumber and chop the parsley. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and add it to the mixing bowl along with the shrimp and cucumber. Toss everything to coat in the dressing. For a colder salad, let it sit in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
