ladle, scoop
杓 centers on a handheld tool for dipping and transferring liquids or loose material: a ladle or scoop.
杓 combines 木 (tree, wood) with 勺, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of a small container or measure. Together they suggest a wooden ladle or scoop.
The left side is wood 木, and the right side 勺 looks like a small dipper with a handle. Picture a wooden ladle scooping soup.
For シャク, imagine a wooden ladle being used to serve a thick shake: shake -> シャク, and the ladle scoops it out.
