Combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let 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 bowl with the dressing along with the shrimp and cucumber. Toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the quinoa to cool.
