In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. 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. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 10 minutes.
While the quinoa cooks, dice the cucumber and red bell pepper. Slice the green onions.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley.
Add the cooled quinoa, cooked shrimp, cucumber, bell pepper, and green onions to the bowl with the dressing. Toss well to coat everything evenly. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
