Bring the water to a boil in a small pot over high heat. Add the orzo and a pinch of salt. Cook for 9 to 11 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water until completely chilled.
While the orzo cooks, dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the parsley.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the chilled orzo, cooked shrimp, cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley. Toss well to coat everything in the dressing.
