I believe there is not any nice way to do this.

Another and perhaps more obvious solution is to run shell commands with
M-1 M-! command while in the *scratch* buffer. For example:

    M-1 M-! echo "foo"

It can actually be any prefix argument for M-!, not just number 1, but
M-1 is a good choice when ! is in the same key as 1.
