The team at the California Academy of Sciences had some a few years ago. They were a pain even for them to obtain and keep alive. IIRC, they had to feed them continuously while eating to fly home and they had to be fed during transport. The reason they never make it in to hobbyists is that they are already starving in the collector's system and then they die on the way in. Those that do make it in alive are typically "walking dead" and nothing can save them. I was able to get a store to import them for me but they were DOA. I believe baby guppies are what have been tried in the past in terms of food but IDK about shrimp. They certainly have not been trained on frozen before.
