In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. 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 until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
While the quinoa cooks, dice the cucumber and chop the parsley.
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the cooked quinoa, shrimp, cucumber, and parsley. Toss well to combine and coat everything in the dressing. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.
