I know I've read some reports regarding longnose hawkfish being unable to consume large shrimps, but not about flame hawkfish (which have a larger mouth). You may be lucky, but perhaps not. It will partly depend on the size of your shrimps.
LFS recommendations are often misleading. I recently found this out firsthand, with unfortunate results.  Caveat emptor.
