Combine the quinoa and water in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Add the cooled quinoa, shrimp, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to coat everything in the vinaigrette.
