Shenawy signed a permanent deal for Zamalek in the summer of 2014 to replace goalkeeper Abdel-Wahed El-Sayed. He succeeded in having the longest clean sheet streak for Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League history with seven consecutive matches without conceding any and overall got 19 clean sheets in the 2014–15 league which was won by Zamalek SC under the management of Jesualdo Ferreira.
