In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the quinoa cooks, dice the cucumber and bell pepper. Slice the green onion. In a large bowl, toss the cucumber and pepper together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Add the shrimp and toss to coat thoroughly.
Fluff the rested quinoa with a fork and add it to the large bowl with the vegetables. Toss to combine. Top the quinoa mixture with the dressed shrimp and garnish with green onions.
