    The best way to propagate shrimp plants is from cuttings. You can grow them from seeds, but if the plant is a hybrid, you won't get the same plant as the parent.
    To collect seeds, let the flower turn black. Look for a tiny seed pod. When the seeds are ready, they eject from the pod. You can enclose the pod with a bag to catch the seeds or harvest the seedpods when dry and store them till they eject the seeds.

    They turn black with age and forming seed. You can let the seed mature and collect it, or prune off the darkening bracts to create a bushier plant.
