Yes, but feed with caution - they may become reluctant to eat anything else, and brine shrimp as a staple will provide too much protein, leading to shell deformity. Try a small amount about weekly. If everything goes fine, continue. If they won't eat anything else anymore, starve them until they do, but for no longer than a week, and then avoid feeding again.
