It is not "Italian" but dialectal in Southern Italy and Sicily.
Also in the Gulf of Taranto, one has "scutulare".

There is something rotten in your phrase.

Italian "scuotere" is to be related to Latin "excutere" `to shake`
composed from "ex-" and "quatere" (related with "quatio"). The form
involved in Southern Italian "(s)cutulare", Sardinian "iscutullare"
and Romanian "scutura(re)" is the VL version "*excutulare" of the
same verb you will find in your dictionary at "excutio".
