    Just like calling any other command from a makefile:

    target: prerequisites
        shell_script arg1 arg2 arg3
    

    Regarding your further explanation:

    .PHONY: do_script
    
    do_script: 
        shell_script arg1 arg2 arg3
    
    prerequisites: do_script
    
    target: prerequisites
