Did this Easter Sunday. When it came time to soak the crawfish, I added the shrimp when the fire was cut. Shrimp were in a nylon bag so I could pull them when they were done. It was 8lbs shrimp and maybe took 10 minutes to cook. You need to watch them closely as they cook rather quick in the hot water. Next time I do it, I would probably wait 10 minutes after I cut the fire so that the water is not scalding hot and has tempered some.

Put the shrimp in the empty crawfish sack, tie the top so they have room to move around and drop the sack in the pot after the fire has been cut off. Test them periodically until they are cooked and easy to peel. I don't mind sprinkling a little extra seasoning on them after taking them out of the water because they will overcook if you soak them long enough to get well-seasoned.
