I don't think it's possible. It's a good use case for raw strings
(which I've tried to get in vanilla emacs [1]) or more generally
reader macros (see Pascal's post).
But what you can do is copy and paste your shell code, select it, and
call this function:
(defun my-raw-string (start end)
(interactive "r")
(let ((r (prin1-to-string (buffer-substring-no-properties start end))))
(delete-region start end)
(insert r)))
which will turn this:
a b \ c
to this:
"a b \\ c"
