Take the original link:
https://youtube.com/shorts/1cQKu-9locY?si=wrX_z1ZOOqJSIiKg

1. Remove the ?si=whatever part off the end
2. Replace shorts/whatever with "watch?v=whatever"

The new link will look like this (Added spaces so that it doesn't trigger the auto embed)
https:// youtube.com / watch?v=1cQKu-9locY
