After you take care of Jack during the early stages of the game, whether that’s by killing him or running away from him, head downstairs into the basement. Follow the door that leads to the incinerator room. Here, you will find the Scorpion Key lying near the bag of meat in the middle of the room. Pick it up and retrace your steps back.
How to Find the Shotgun in Resident Evil 7

The room is located upstairs in the upper level of the main house. The entrance to the door is right next to the staircase of the house. Once you unlock the door, loot the entire room. You will then find the Broken Shotgun as well. Yes, this is a broken version of the shotgun. You will have to replace it with a real Shotgun which is located south of the Main Hall.
