This is a contentious question depending on the researcher answering and their background. Much of the available literature on the subject(s) will say that although the forms of these equations are similar, there is no relation between Shannon and Boltzman entropy. The best treatment I've seen stems from E.T. Jaynes' classical paper on the subject and is presented by Arieh Ben-Naim in his book Farewell to Entropy.
