In 2003 Waterford reached the Munster final again, however, Shanahan remained on the substitutes’ bench as his team was defeated by Cork. Waterford later crashed out of the championship in the All-Ireland series. By 2004 Shanahan had established himself on the county team and it turned out to be one of his best seasons to date. In his first game against Clare he scored a hat-trick of goals (an impressive feat in hurling). He added to this by scoring another two goals against Tipperary and then scoring a vital goal against Cork in the memorable Munster final, giving Shanahan a second provincial title. This victory allowed the team to advance directly to the All-Ireland semi-final, however, Kilkenny defeated Shanahan’s side on that occasion. In spite of this there was some consolation at the end of the year as Shanahan's scoring prowess earned him his first All-Star

" along with picking up his third Munster winners medal. In the subsequent All-Ireland quarter-final Waterford defeated Cork after a replay, setting up an All-Ireland semi-final rematch with Limerick. While many had predicted a Waterford victory, Limerick had learned a lesson from the earlier defeat. Shanahan was prevented from scoring any goals in that game while Limerick’s forwards scored five. For the fifth time in almost a decade Waterford’s championship came to an end at the penultimate stage. In spite of falling short of championship success Shanahan’s tally of eight goals over the whole championship marked him out as one of the best forwards in the country. He was later presented with a third All-Star award as well as claiming the coveted Vodafone Hurler of the Year
