Enable description on the menu page, paste to the description textarea of the link your shortcode, in functions.php add next code:

add_filter('walker_nav_menu_start_el', function($item_output, $item) {
    if (!is_object($item) || !isset($item->object)) {
        return $item_output;
    }

    if ($item->ID === 829) {
        $item_output = do_shortcode($item->description);
    }

    return $item_output;
