I would say it depended on the size of the kribs and the shrimp. I have kept them both together before (with different kribs too), I thought I had lost a shrimp, but I still have the 3 I started out with! I have no idea what your tank is like, but kribs are generally bottom dwellers, so perhaps a tall plant could help provide refuge for the shrimp should they need it.

The kribs will almost always eat the shrimp. I have never had kribs NOT eat shrimp, but there is always the odd ball.
