Gohst Shrimp can shed, and when they shed they shed their whole body. This is so they can grow bigger. However, you need to make sure that they are not dead. When ghost shrimp die they turn white, and may start to go pink.

Good Luck

When they die, they curl up, too. They look like the kind you eat. That sort of position. When ghost shrimp shed, it's like the whole back part of their shell is left behind.
