Well I thought the definition of resonance in an electrical circuit was 
the frequency at which the phase shift is zero.

No. You will get the same answer, no matter what value you choose for L 
and C, as long as R=sqrt(L/C), which is what I stated it had to be. 
There is no need for me to state L or C - the answer is independent of 
them, as long as you make R=sqrt(L/C).

If you want to simulate it, rather than analytically determine it, just 
pick a random value for L, a random value for C, and make R=sqrt(L/C).
