My shrimps like Hikari crab cuisine, both my amanos and my galaxy pintos devour that stuff. I also feed them snowflakes :

Snails need harder water with enough mineral content to build their shells. Soft water will leach minerals away from their shells, eventually creating holes.
I use Salty Shrimp, but it's kind of expensive and not really necessary. There are other ways to harden your water. A cheaper product is Seachem Equilibrium, but I've never used it myself.
My tap water is really soft like yours, it has about 2 degrees of hardness while the ideal hardness is more like 5-8 degrees.
I also feed my shrimp an invertebrate food that contains calcium for shell formation. The snails go for it too, which probably helps them out.
