My SFE is almost 24" long. He gets feed a combo of scallops, shrimp ,clam, and regular old krill. I have stick feed mine since he was about 12" long. Just go to a place that you trust that has fresh seafood , you don't need to buy alot just enough to get you thru a week or two. I feed him once every other day.
I would be getting that shrimp out of there, that could be an expensive meal for a morray.

I have found that if you use a feeding stick that helps keep them more calm, they don't go crazzy looking for food.

My zebra is 36" and I feed him tiger prawns and squid from the grocery store. He eats the equivalent of two large tiger prawns every other day. I have two 12" green eels in the same tank as the zebra and they eat one large tiger prawn cut in pieces every two days. It seems that a sne would be similar
