I'm not going to explain this well, so hopefully someone recognizes it and gives you the site/can tell you if it works or not for shrimp.

Someone had instructions for a 'free fish trap', made out of a plastic water/soda bottle.
They cut the top off, flipped it upside down and stuck it back into the bottom part, and put some bait inside.

Something about fish being too dumb to get back out before you grab the bottle
