Not sure I understand you correctly … do you mean Show shortcode without executing it? – fuxia♦ Apr 23 '13 at 8:00

Youtube is already supported as part of the embed functionality along with various other popular video sites. – t31os Apr 23 '13 at 8:20
To render the shortcode output with a clickable link while it still looks like a shortcode, you have to replace the built-in shortcode:
add_shortcode( 'video', 'wpse_96840_literal_video' );
function wpse_96840_literal_video( $atts )
{
$url = $atts['url'];
return '<code>'
. sprintf( '[video url="<a href=\"%1$s\">%1$s</a>"][/video]', $url )
. '</code>';
}

The built-in shortcode is not yet in WordPress. It will come in version 3.6. As to where to put this code: use a custom plugin. – fuxia♦ Apr 23 '13 at 10:07
