Sinner survived a late flurry of pressure from Shelton on Court One as he reached the last eight at the All England Club for a third successive year.
The 22-year-old Italian top seed is bidding to win the grass-court Grand Slam for the first time.
Sinner, who won his maiden Slam crown at the Australian Open earlier this year, will face Bulgarian 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov or Russian fifth seed Daniil Medvedev for a place in the semifinals.
Sinner's best performance at Wimbledon came in 2023 when he lost to Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.
