Using shortcodes to display product grid

I need to display three products as grid (three in a row) on client home page.

Using standard shortcodes gives me the Category and Order options drop down as per instructions:

[mp_list_products paginate=”true” page=”1″ per_page=”10″ order_by=”price” order=”DESC” category=”downloads”]

As a temporary measure, I have built three columns and manually added the three products as a hack.

How can I use the standard shortcode without Category and Sort order drop-downs?

Thanks in advance, Callum.
