I would recommend using single quotes if you want to include some HTML, also you need to return something otherwise nothing happens.
// WP Shortcode
function text_shortcode() {
return '<strong>bold text:</strong> <a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/318934/shortcode-returns-escaped-html-tags">See wordpress.stackexchange.com</a>';
}
add_shortcode('bold-text', 'text_shortcode');
Your WordPress shortcode would be:
[bold-text]

– Shortcode created to check language not works
– Shortcode returns escaped HTML tags
