    for explosive power for shoulders try push presses, or jerks.
    learn proper technique.

    Clap pushups are also good, full range of motion

    Cleans, Hang Cleans, Power Cleans, Hang Power Cleans, Push Presses, careful with these exercises, maintain good form and don't use too much weight.

    Move the other shoulder, otherwise theres no movement shoulders dont move.If they do youve got problems.

    Most power comes from your legs, which is why you pivot and step into punches

    There is a reason sports teams from all levels have their players do cleans, jerks, and snatches.
    And like paloalto said, punching power comes from legs so you could also try these: depth jumps, box jumps, hurdle jumps.
    Here’s a website that lists most of what’s been already mentioned:
    http://www.exrx.net/Lists/PowerExercises.html
    And to repeat what pugilist said, you should always follow strict form and don’t go overzealous on the poundage or this could happen to you:

    It looks like his elbow bent the other way and got dislocated. Here's a better look:

    Personally I see much bigger gains in power from practising good technique rather than hundreds of pushup's etc.

    Proper hip rotation, stepping into the punch etc

    Its a boring answer I know but hey!

    Out of curiosity, why would you want to increase explosive power in the shoulders? I take it you're not a boxer...?
