Yes in this case, you can say [nín zuò shénme de]. It's just a colloquial way of saying this sentence and it would not change its meaning by omitting [shì].

January 10, 2020 at 3:12 AMHello!
了 is used as a particle when you want to express an action is completed, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it happened in the past. In this case, the sentence structure 要...了means something is going to be completed soon, in other words, something is happening. 了 is a particle that has many usages, just remember that it represents a complete action, no matter if it happened in the past, or in the future.
Check out this lesson for more explanation of this structure:
