In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the quinoa simmers, place the broccoli in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until tender but still bright green. Transfer the broccoli to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the shrimp are heated through and coated in the garlic butter. Done when heated through, 145°F.
Place the quinoa on a plate alongside the steamed broccoli. Top the quinoa or the side of the plate with the garlic butter shrimp and any remaining sauce from the pan.
