Plastic cup with some food in it, covered with Cling wrap..put rubber band around top so it holds. Cut a slit into the plastic wrap almost the length of the opening. Turn off power heads and put cup near shrimp. It will find a way into the cup...once in, remove cup. Not sure if this will work, just thought about it, but I don't see why not.
First, adding livestock to correct a problem is not always a good idea unless it is something you would have added even if there were no problem.
But, a lion fish would sure not be my choice. A reef safe trigger (assuming your tank size is adequate) would be the first choice for me.

Try a coral banded shrimp, the biggest one you can find. I know when I first tried to introduce p'shrimps into my display for aiptasia control, they were never to be found/seen. There might be other factors for their MIA status but I suspect the real culprit was the coral banded shrimp.
If all else fails, target practice with 'rubber band' spear hunting...
