There doesn't seem to be a shell-other-window to start shell in a new
*window* like dired-other-window.
The following function I wrote shows a shell in TWO windows so it
doesn't do the trick.
(lambda () (interactive)
(switch-to-buffer-other-window (shell)))

Try this
(lambda () (interactive)
(switch-to-buffer-other-window nil)
(shell))
The point is that in your code, (shell) is evaluated (making a new
buffer, which gets displayed in the current window) and then
switch-to-buffer-other-window says to display that buffer in a different
window too.
