Hunter x Hunter's the best shonen just doesn't come out enough.
I thought Kenichi was pretty good.
I've really been enjoying Seven Deadly Sins more than I expected to and My Hero Academia has been good for me as well.
Honestly though based on some of the examples that still fall under shonen like Tokyo Ghoul or Death Note or AoT or Akame ga Kill I wonder what classifies a Shonen over a Seinen because Kingdom and JoJo are great.

Has to be any series that isn't Naruto or linked to said series anyhow.
Personally, I think it's Attack on Titan. Everyone can enjoy it, from kids to young adults (though it more appeals to young adults). Has that Shounen factor where the main character is an idiot but makes the bravest decisions, but isn't borderline abusing that card. It's also got one of the best universes, it's surreal, but it also makes it seem as though you could actually fit in and interact with the characters. And the Titans aspect is just a crazy good element to build your plot upon, and Attack on Titan took a good gamble with it making the Titans have varying intelligence levels and mysterious perenial but stagely unearthed motives. The peeling away of the truth, piece by piece, and with each rising conundrum, is a very brilliant way, to let us viewers savor the story in its glory.
