"SHOCKED WITH" In addition to Fede's list, you can also use "shocked WITH". "She was accidentally shocked with 6000 volts of electricity". "The police officer shocked the criminal with a Taser". (The criminal was shocked with a taser.)

Hello Eugenia, There is no "to be shocked with something" . You can say: "to be shocked at something" or "to be shocked by something".
