You need to make copy of uwsgi_params, say, uwsgi.conf,
Then remove this line from the new file:
    uwsgi_param  PATH_INFO          $document_uri;

and use this configuraiton:

location /shop {
   uwsgi_pass unix:/path/to/uwsgi/socket;
   include      uwsgi.conf;
   uwsgi_param  PATH_INFO    /public/webshop/main.py;
}

Alos, you should not
   set $uwsgi_socket /path/to/uwsgi/socket;
