In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and half the salt. 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.
While the quinoa simmers, place the broccoli florets in a skillet with two tablespoons of water. Cover and steam over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain any remaining water and set the broccoli aside.
Wipe the skillet dry and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through and the garlic is soft. Done when heated through.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to a plate. Top with the steamed broccoli and the lemon garlic shrimp, pouring any pan juices over the top. Garnish with the fresh parsley.
