You look at the top two cards of that library as the triggered ability resolves. That happens after your opponent is done shuffling.

In most cases, Green Sun’s Zenith instructs you to shuffle your library twice. Although shuffling that library only once is an acceptable shortcut, Psychic Surgery’s ability will still trigger twice.
