To a certain extend, yes, shrimps will eat algae. But, it depends on what type of algae too.

Since you know there's a problem with your tank, try not to add anymore fish/shrimps. Solve the problem first.

best is still to solve the root of the algae problem...

introducing shrimps to solve the problem.. and then doing something else to control the shrimps from eating the plants.. will not be a good long term solution..
