I have a peppermint shrimp and I don't know if I am feeding it right. I give it lettuce and marine flake food. It will eat the food that I give it but I read online that peppermint shrimp are carnivores...

20 gallon: 2 pristella tetras, 2 flame tetras, 1 painted platy and fry, 6 ghost shrimp, 2 female bettas (Athena, and Alectrona)
6 gallon (Fluval Edge): breeding tank, 1 cherry barb
5 gallon (Fluval Chi): 1 double-tail male betta (Sephora)
2 gallon: 1 red male vieltale betta (Balboa)
2 gallon (Fluval Spec): 1 male halfmoon betta(Shawano)
30 gallon: 2 fantail goldfish, 1 pleco
Future Tank (far away future...): 75 or 100 gallon planted tank with 6-8 discus (undecided types of them), a school of red phantom tetras, some loaches, a pair of rams, and a school of rummy nose tetras

They are a scavenger they will eat almost anything you give it. From pellets to frozen food. They will sometimes eat aiptasia anemones.
