Usually the 'ghost shrimp' you buy from shops as live food are the brackish variety - but not always.
Amanos can tolerate brackish water - in fact their young need brackish water to survive. I wouldn't go full brackish though... just in case.

Opae ula (Halocaridina rubra) do best in brackish water. They're tiny though. 1/2" red shrimps.

Fiddler crabs are an option for brackish semi-aquatic tanks, although obviously not shrimp, still crustaceans
