My shrimp drive me mad when I try to spot feed as well. I've found a few things to help with this. First, you can cut off the top of a pop bottle and put it over the nem when you feed so the shrimp can't get to it. Second, you can sit there and fend off the shrimp while the nem feeds... eventually the shrimp start to get the picture and won't bother the nem as much. Third, give the shrimp a head fake; drop in some of the krill juice, feed a bit of coral frenzy, whatever... just something that distracts them long enough and smell strong enough that they can't track down the krill the nem is munching on. I use the last method the most.
Over time you nem will become used to the shrimp poking at it and won't shy away as much but you'll have to fight the shrimp off it for a bit until it is more bold.
