It's written on the control column in big letters on the 737! You still need to memorise it in case you are in thick smoke and can't see it.
Both Pilots action there parts simultaneously - the Captain closes the start levers to shut the engines down THEN orders evacuate. Meanwhile the FO puts the flaps to 40, stows the speedbrake, opens the window and pulls the engine fire handles which would also shut down the engines.
