Morecambe substitute Redshaw headed in winger Kevin Ellison's corner in the 94th minute and Oxford boss Chris Wilder blasted:
"We've killed ourselves in the last three games by picking up one point. The smallest lad in the stadium heads it in from two yards out. That should've been a consolation goal."
Lively winger Alfie Potter grabbed his eighth league goal of the campaign on the hour when he turned defender Chris McCready in the box and fired in off keeper Barry Roche from a tight angle.
Oxford had chances to add to Potter's opener.
Sean Rigg nearly doubled the lead four minutes later from the edge of the box, but Roche turned his low shot past the post.
And defender Damian Batt's drive from the same distance flew inches over in the 77th minute with Roche beaten.
Oxford had the better of a dire first half and Potter should have put them ahead on the half hour, but he nodded Batt's cross wide from six yards.
Delighted Shrimps manager Jim Bentley said: "Our work rate made us deserve a point. I've got a set of players who keep going to the very end."
