Hooks don't work like that. A hook is a list of functions to call.
So what you need is:
(defun my-shell-script-mode-hook ()
;; insert code here
)
(add-hook 'shell-script-mode-hook 'my-shell-script-mode-hook)

shell-script-mode disobeys
(global-unset-key "\C-\C-c")
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-c" 'server-edit)))
forcing me to type \C-x # to terminate the editing of a shell script
(as opposed to \C-c\C-c for all my other modes).
So I thought I'd be clever by putting
(local-unset-key "\C-c\C-c")
(local-set-key "\C-c\C-c" 'server-edit)))
in my shell-script-mode-hook. But putting (message "hello") in this

yes, and those functions must be functions of zero arguments.

The name is very confusing: you don't put hooks into hooks (apart from the
fact that hooks are lists of functions rather than functions). Rather, call
it differently:
(defun do-my-stuff-for-shell-scripts ()
;; insert code here
)
(add-hook 'shell-script-mode-hook 'do-my-stuff-for-shell-scripts)
This solution works, but forces you to write a function for every thing you
may want to stuff into a hook, which can become cumbersome. If you're
bothered by this, use functions that have no name: lambda-forms. Works as
follows:
(add-hook 'shell-script-mode-hook
#'(lamdba ()
;; insert code here
))
The lambda-form just 'creates' a function and returns it; in fact, (defun
...) uses lambda to create the function body internally, and then binds it to
a name.

C-h f shell-script-mode RET tells you that this is an alias for
sh-mode. Does it work to use sh-mode-hook instead?
