peppermint shrimp

I was feeding my tank and just saw one of my peppermint shrimp rip apart and eat an amphipod. Is this normal behavior for that species?
 
Definitely, that shrimp methodically removed all its legs then cut off a segment of the body at a time going nom nom nom. I would hate to be an amphipod, or any pod really. So many things eat them.
