You could probably do without the shrimp. Between the 'cured' (shipped) live rock and the base marco (notorious for having dead organics) you have plenty of sources for ammonia. I'd take em out, or cut back to a 1/2 one and see if that keeps the ammonia going. If your timing and readings are correct, you're well on your way.
The 80 in nitrates is high so soon. Did you test the source water?
