You can find the Blues Shuffle in songs, like e.g.. "Crossroads", "Pride & Joy", "Before you accuse me" and many other classic Bluessongs. Mostly only 2 strings are played at the same time. On the first frets you can play the most simple Shuffles for the chords E, A and D and B. Practices them individually and also one behind the other!

For Shuffles on other frets and in other keys you need some more stretching in your fingers.
But with some pracice you can do that without bigger problems.
