Default Hooking live shrimp

I've been using 2/0 kahle hooks forever to hook live shrimp when I'm fishing for trout or reds, and I hook the shrimp through the razor in the head. There's never a problem when fishing for trout, because they tend to attack the thing immediately or in a 1-2 punch. Also no problem if a bull red takes it, because they inhale the thing. But when its a 12-20 inch redfish, they might tap tap tap it. With that tapping, they'll snag the tail off and leave just the shell of the head. I've removed the tail fin before and run the hook through the body, but the shrimp doesn't move and tends to die quickly. If I'm going to fish with live shrimp, I want them to be super active in the water. Anybody have a way of hooking live shrimp to let them stay frisky in the water but where the fish has to take the hook when biting the shrimp?
