Sure, @merriamwebster includes some bastardizations of these spellings, but I'd recommend that you resist them.

Hyphens are devilish because they often entail discretion. You want to know the rules and follow them, but above all, you want to make your text clear for your reader. Even if that means breaking the rules.

I just encountered "Crab & Shrimp Topped Salmon with Braised Greens" on a menu I was proofreading. I suggested single hyphen between "Shrimp" and "Topped," but I eschewed a hanging hyphen after "Crab." I didn't want the text to feel riddled with marks, and I thought the ampersand did a sufficient job joining the crab and the shrimp into a combo.

Relevant: @merriamwebster says "hand-wringing" is hyphenated, but "handwringer" is solid. taken in Longmont, Colorado by @shinyredcopy
