In a small pot, bring the water and half the salt to a boil. Stir in the couscous, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the couscous cooks, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, and the remaining salt in a small bowl. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and brush all over with the marinade.
Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Place the skewers in the pan and cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more until heated through and lightly charred. Done when heated through, 145°F.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and fold in the diced cucumber and chopped parsley. Pile the couscous onto a plate and top with the shrimp skewers.
