This is a difficult question to answer. 

Most fertilisers used within reason is safe. However, used regularly or in sufficient quantities, ferts will alter the water parameters ... which is bad for shrimps. The smaller the tank, the greater the parameters that are altered.

 

So on one hand ferts are ok, but too much and constant use and it will be bad. That's why it's difficult answering it directly.

You can try the plants without fertiliser first. Try a low tech tank.

High tech tanks that have high light and high fertiliser needs don't tend to do too well with shrimps.

Buce's do well in a shrimp tank, without fertilisers. They are slow growing, so not too impacted by the lack of regular fertilising. I find the only Macro fertiliser missing in a shrimp tank is Potassium.
