Daniel Udoh struck in stoppage time to end Shrewsbury's seven-game goal drought and earn a 1-0 win over Northampton in League One.
The Shrews had gone five league games and two EFL Trophy matches without scoring.
But that run was ended by Udoh in the first minute of stoppage time after Sam Hoskins had missed a second-half penalty for the Cobblers.
The home side went close just after the 20-minute mark when Tom Bayliss sent a free-kick flashing across the face of goal.
Northampton hurried forward soon after through Mitchell Pinnock, who used some creative footwork to get a powerful shot off, but goalkeeper Marko Marosi displayed great reactions to parry away.
