What type of shrimp? And what are your water parameters- mainly GH and KH. Gives you a basis to see if your water is too soft or not.
You can try cuttlebone, pretty cheap over here it's less than two dollars a piece, three for five bucks.
It's slow release and unquantifiable though.
I would break it up into smaller pieces to increase surface area for dissolution and put it straight into the tank in a good flow spot or in the filter. I've done both ways, it takes a few days to sink.
PS it adds carbonates too, and some magnesium, snails graze on it, sometimes the shrimp too once the cuttlebone develops biofilm
