Is there a way to use a shortcode that works in one WordPress page in another completely separate WordPress page?

Like if the shortcode was just a link, I could just use a href on the other page, but it's a shortcode [xxx] that needs to execute on the 1st Wordpress page that I want to display on another completely separate Wordpress page if that makes sense?
