Combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the salt in a small saucepan over high heat. 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 until the water is absorbed.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, and cooked shrimp to the bowl with the dressing. Toss thoroughly to combine and coat everything in the vinaigrette. Chill for 10 minutes if time allows, or serve immediately.
