In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
While the quinoa cools, dice the bell peppers and chop the parsley. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooled quinoa, cooked shrimp, bell peppers, and parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss well to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
