If your sand and rock were both truly alive then you probably had plenty of bacteria to handle the food and shrimp you put in the tank. The ammonia "spike" only happens if you start with an insufficient bacteria population which has to multiply to deal with the amount of ammonia present. Keep going slow like you are and you should be golden. Water change to lower nitrate level is a good idea.
