In another month or 2, you could use some the media in your 10G to 'seed' your 38G - This will greatly increase the cycling time and minimize any spikes.

Cories gor great with shrimp.

Lastly, remember shrimp are quite suseptable to high levels of nitrAtes in addition to nitrItes and Ammonia. It is best to have an established tank first, before adding shrimp.
