We consider the modulationally stable version of the Kaup-Boussinesq system which models propagation of nonlinear waves in various physical systems. It is shown that the Whitham modulation equations for this model have a new type of solutions which describe trigonometric shock waves. In the Gurevich-Pitaevskii problem of evolution of an initial discontinuity, these solutions correspond to a non-zero wave excitation on one of the sides of the discontinuity. Our analytical results are confirmed by numerical calculations.
