Sure, why wouldn't you be able to? I have an ethernet cable run from the garage to an RV. Cable is run to the garage from the main house.

If you have power in the shed, there are units that you can buy that you plug your Ethernet wire into then plug into the outlet. Put another unit in the shed and they send the signal thru your electrical wiring.
I worked in an environment where we ended up putting fiber to Ethernet converters on both side. Ran fiber and never looked back. Pre fiber we suffered several lightning strikes that would fry the switches.
I’d use fiber, conduit and bury it. I got a sprinkler company to do mine. And run extra fibers for long term potential.
I just used a powerline adapter (I owned from a previous house) and a spare WiFi ap. The summer house already had power. It still works despite the small consumer unit in there.
Don't care about super high speeds really in that location.
Obviously in the future I might run a cable.
No more than 100 ft runs ideally.
