Removing id/variable from SEO friendly URL

I am trying to rewrite a URL so that it is SEO friendly and excludes the product ID. Currently I am using this in my .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^shop/product/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ products.php?id=$2&name=$1 [NC,L]

For example rewrites it to:

shop/product/product-name/12

Is there a way that I can rewrite this URL so it removes or excludes the product ID from the end?

Could you please try following, written and tested with shown samples. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

First set of Rules is considering that your product.php is present in root, in same path as .htaccess is present.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^shop/product/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ /products.php?id=$2&name=$1 [NE,R=301,NC]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/products\.php\?id=[^&]*&name=[^\s]*\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ shop/product [R=301,QSD,NE,L]

OR Please use either above OR following rules at a time only in your .htaccess.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^shop/product/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ products.php?id=$2&name=$1 [NE,R=301,NC]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} products\.php\?id=[^&]*&name=[^\s]*\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ shop/product [R=301,QSD,NE,L]
