How to create a shortcode out of a PHP function?

My code looks like this:

function related_links_shortcode() {
      echo do_shortcode("<?php wp_related_posts()?>");
 }
add_shortcode('relatedlinks', 'related_links_shortcode');

My code only shows [relatedlinks] on my post

Using the do_shortcode() function actually calls another shortcode if that one exists. Instead, it should look like the following:

add_shortcode('relatedlinks', 'related_links_shortcode');
function related_links_shortcode() {
    return wp_related_posts();
}
