unwanted p tags when adding shortcode in search results archive

I created a custom archive for search results. I use Relevanssi and Toolset Views.

To make it work with Relevanssi I followed this topic: https://wp-types.com/forums/topic/custom-search-relevanssi/.

I added some code to functions.php of my theme. This makes highlight search term work.

// highlight keyword with relevanssi
// https://wp-types.com/forums/topic/custom-search-relevanssi/
function highlight_keyword_func($atts, $content) {
    $content = do_shortcode($content);
    if(isset($_GET['s'])){
        $content = relevanssi_highlight_terms($content, $_GET['s']);
    }
    return $content;
}
add_shortcode( 'highlight-keyword', 'highlight_keyword_func' );

This is how I implemented the shortcode in the Toolset Views WordPress Archive:

[wpv-layout-start]
    [wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
    <ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop">
        <wpv-loop>
            <li>
            <h3>[wpv-post-link]</h3>
            <p><em>[wpv-post-date]<br>Filed under: [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'post' )"]News[/wpv-conditional][wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' ne 'post' )"][wpv-post-type show="plural"][/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'post' )"] - [wpv-post-taxonomy type="category" format="name"][/wpv-conditional]</em>
             <br />
            [highlight-keyword][wpv-post-excerpt][/highlight-keyword]
            </p>
            </li>
        </wpv-loop>
    </ul>
    <!-- wpv-loop-end -->
    [/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

You can view the result I have so far here: http://staging.impel.eu/?s=birds

Problem: the excerpt in the search results is wrapped in <p></p> tags. However, I did not add these to my template in the Views WordPress archive. These tags are generated by the highlight_keyword shortcode. I temporarily removed this shortcode and then the p tags disappeared.

How can I resolve this? How can I get rid of these tags?
