I havn't had these myself so not 100% sure but I'd think they're too small to really bother shrimp. I doubt the shrimp would bother them either. HERE is some more info.

They will eat babies

They will eat baby shrimp, & when I had them I saw them even pick at juvenile & adult shrimp, small crustaceans are part of their natural diet
