Shrimp tanks are awesome! I have several (tanks/species)
If you are new to planted tanks or have had difficulty in the past, I would suggest trying a dirt tank. It allows you to grow pretty much any plants, is extremely low cost, does not require the addition of C02, cycles itself and is very very stable.
That being said, I'd still run the tank for at least a couple months to let things settle, establish and start to grow before adding any shrimp. Feel free to add snails in the 2nd or 3rd week though
Good luck!
