- If you have to shuffle in the middle, shuffle. Don't shuffle in the revealed cards as these cards do not go to the Discard pile until you have finished revealing cards.
- If you run out of cards after shuffling and still only have one Treasure, you get just that one Treasure.

[edit] Strategy
Adventurer is similar to a terminal draw card that is guaranteed to draw two Treasures. Like Moat, it only increases hand size by one, but for triple the cost.
In engines which aim to draw the entire deck every turn, Adventurer is often undesirable as it will be unable to find any Treasures. It also has the unfortunate side effect of skipping the Actions you may have wanted to play in that shuffle.
In money strategies, Adventurer is almost never better than Gold, which has the same cost. Adventurer draws fewer cards than Smithy, and in most cases its sifting ability does not compensate for it.
Adventurer becomes slightly more useful in Kingdoms with strong junkers (e.g. Witch) and Treasure-trashing (e.g. Moneylender) as the only trashing. Without Coppers, Adventurer is more likely to find your better Treasures, and can also sift through the Curses.
