Assuming the gun is cocked, loaded, and the safety is off- Pulling the trigger moves the sear, which allows the hammer to be driven froward by a spring. It strikes the firing pin, driving the firing pin forward. This dents the primer of the shotshell, causing it to fire. The fire ignites the gunpowder, which burns quickly. Burning powder produces rapidly expanding gasses, which push the shot cup (holding lead pellets) up and out of the barrel. At the same time, the reaction to that pushes the shotgun back against your shoulder (kick of the gun)

What happens when you pull a shotgun trigger with no cartridge in it?
Probably nothing initially for a few times, but if you repeatedly do this, you may eventually wear out the spring that activates the firing pin or have the firing pin release too far out. There are devices called "snap caps" that fit into the chamber of the barrel and allow you to pull the trigger and release the firing pin into a small spring loaded portion of the snap cap. This is the best way to store your shotgun, with a snap cap in place and the trigger pulled releasing the firing pin into it.
