SHP = Shaft Horsepower (Power delivered to the driveshaft)
ESHP = Equivalent Shaft Horsepower. (Useful mechanical horsepower from output shaft plus exhaust thrust horsepower...typically 80% from propeller...20% from exhaust.)

Well I am not really a turboprop guy, but SHP stands for Shaft Horse Power, and is the rating given to a turboprop engine. Essentially how much horsepower the turbine engine delivers to the shaft that turns the prop. Not familiar with ESHP, but I imagine it is either equivalent or effective SHP. Probably a means to compare engines of dissimilar types, but that is guess.
