The only difference between MRP's and Protein Shakes is the macronutrient profile: protein shakes tend to be all protein or a division of protein and carbohydrates (often simple carboyhdrates). An MRP is supposed to model your macronutrient intake for the day (or adjust it accordingly, if your whole food meals are off). So MRP's usually include primarily complex carbohydrates, but also protein and usually some "good" fats (i.e. monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, MCT).
Also, protein shakes may use fast or slow acting proteins (fast for pre or post workout, slow for nighttime). MRP's may use a combination, but since you're typically taking MRP's during other times of the day (not right before or after your workout), I think it's best to put in mostly slow acting caseins.
I like to keep my MRP breakdowns pretty close to this:
55-70% Carbohydrates (Maltodextrin)
25-45% Protein (Casein, Egg, Whey)
5-15% Fat (Flax)
