Just keep an eye on your water stats for a while.

What are your water stats? Is this continued from another post, sort of?

i don't know what my stats i don't have a test kit

If you don't have a test kit then I'd say no to adding some shrimp.
 
It would probably be okay but you really need a test kit to make sure that you don't end up with a build up of ammonia. 
 
You also need to add pure ammonia to the tank to keep the bacteria alive while there's no stock in it.

Actually, if you added enough mature filter media to fill the filter, you should be all right. I just did that with my 10g shrimp/cory egg tank and it's fine.

That's true but it's always best to be safe
