Freshwater shimp are generally harmless to newts. However, the newts may eat them, and some shrimp need higher temperatures than what newts ideally need.

Bear in mind that a scavenger (snail, shrimp, whatever) just converts one form of waste into another, they don't really make it disappear. Removal of uneaten food should still be your responsibility. The scavenger won't reduce your work any.
