depending on many situations but if its still uncured cement then take a shop vac and try to suck as much as possible out then run alot of water down it. If its cured cement then most likely you will have to cut out the pipe or trap of where the cement is. If its not alot of cement in your shower drain trap and water will still flow slowly threw then you can try pouring alot of icemelt salt down the drain and it will break up the cement but takes lots of time.
Very common problem
Depending on how much cement went down the drain I normally use an electric snake with small chain knockers to loosen the cement from the piping walls this will NOT work on plastic system's

How to unclog a basement shower drain that is clogged with cement?
Run a snake down it to see where the clog is, cut out the floor, remove that section of pipe, replace it and pour a new floor. There is nothing that is going to dissolve the cement. You could try scraping at it with the snake. May be loose enough to dislodge and get down the drain, but I wouldn't count on it.
