I should think shrimps are a no-no because they are a modern fad which is somewhat of a deviation from fish-keeping. Furthermore shrimps require more delicate care to survive.
A couple of goldfish in a huge earthen pot (those with dragon decorations) should be more suitable for the sake of nostalgic feelings. Care should be taken to ensure only a couple of fish are kept rather than a group, on account of bioload considerations.
That said, there can be no substitute for a pond in one's own garden.
