your vent on your shower or kitchen (if you have one) is not working and either the air from the water in the shower drain is carried down stream till it T's off to your kitchen sink then the air follows to your kitchen sink drain line backwards and to your kitchen sink trap and then bubbles through your trap because your water in your kitchen trap can not drain but the air has enough pressure to go through it OR your water from your shower is flowing past your kitchen drain T and making a siphon which causes air to go through your kitchen trap and makes the gurgling sound one way to fix the problem is to add a Vent line on your kitchen drain and your shower drain with in 42" on 1 1/2 or 60" on 2" on your trap arm if you want to follow the UPC code.

How do you fix bubbling in your toilet when you run your kitchen sink?
You PROBABLY have either a partially blocked drain line or possibly a missing or blocked drain vent. It's all behind the walls and if the drain vent is missing it is a direct reflection on the skill and/or integrity of the plumber. If the drain or vent is blocked, that is just a function of home use. A GOOD, plumber can help you figure out what is wrong. Sometimes the solution can be as simple as a stackless vent, but those devices are not allowed in some communities so check with local building code.
