Hi, welcome to the hobby. Well, I m not the expert here, but so far my cherry shrimp and malayan shrimp are doing fine.
First, you need to cycle your water. Setup the tank, let the water flow for around few day, feed like there its fish, this is to grow bacteria.
Its always good to have plant. But if you want to focus on shrimp, then try simple plant, those cheap one around RM 1.50 per bunch. And moss, just tide it to rock or wood. I m using holland sand, cheap and good. Since with those easy plant, holland sand should be good enough. Make sure the lighthing its enough, you can DIY it. Btw, how big its your tank? size? You also can DIY co2 for the plant.
For shrimp, try to keep the temp around 24'c - 26'c. At nite I can get around 26'c with fans blowing. I think this should be bout it. Try it step by step.
