Yes, this works for me even tho I'm on zsh.

In ~/.bashrc put this, carefully, as bash is fussy!

    function hi () {
        echo hello
    }

Then invoke Emacs like this:

    SHELL=/bin/bash BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc emacs -Q

Then:

    M-x shell-command RET hi RET

N.B. Don't rely on SHELL if you want to change the
shell in general.
