Well, you can shake with another person and you can shake them by the hand. When you shake somebody by the hand, you are the active party.
When you shake hands with somebody both, you and the other person are equally active.

So, yes your sentence She shook hands with him is correct.

For more on shaking hands please take a look at this post:
