Well, different types of shotguns can hold varying amounts of rounds or shells. For example a Side by Side, or an Over & Under barreled shotguns can hold two rounds. The "typical" or "average" shotgun can hold 6-8 rounds without a plug. For example the Remington 870 or the newer model the 887. A plug is used to limit the amount of rounds in order to shoot types of game, like waterfowl, in which hunters are only allowed 3 rounds loaded at one time (on certain lands). Some home defense models of shotguns hold 12-15 rounds, depending on the model of course. A popular high capacity model is the Saiga shotgun, holding 10-20 rounds depending on the magazine, having both semi-auto and full auto variants.

How many shells can be legally chambered in a shotgun?
Only one can be chambered unless you have a double barrel, then there can be two. If you mean how many can be in the magazine of a repeating shotgun, you can have onlyone in the chamber and two in the magazine when hunting migratory waterfowl. Otherwise, as many as it will hold (commonly 5 in most pumps or automatics and 3 in bolt actions). However, if you live in an anti-gun state like Kalifornia or New Jersey, there may be legal limits, but they should only affect "hi-capacity" removable magazines, ie, no magazines that hold more than 9 shells.
