Narrative:

We landed around midnight after an 11 hour duty day and we were both tired. After exiting the runway I said my normal 'flaps up; after landing checklist; shutdown two;' yet turned off engine number 2 myself but never told my first officer that I did. When the first officer finished his after landing checklist; he proceeded to shut down engine number 2. Unfortunately; he shutdown engine number 1. By shutting one engine down myself I kind of set him up and so we found ourselves with no engines on the taxiway. I immediately started the APU and made an announcement to the passengers and ATC. After the APU came online we started one engine and taxied to the gate. We had a long day and were both tired. I even commented on this during the descent to be extra vigilant. I should have let the first officer do his job like I asked him and not shut down one engine myself. I am aware of what the aom says in regards to who should shutdown engines during the taxi-in; yet being tired; rushing to get things done got the better of me. And the first officer should have looked what start lever he reached for. I assume he was in mindset as I. Needless to say we all learned a big lesson from this.

Title: During a late night taxi to the gate after landing; the Captain elected to shutdown the Number 2 engine while the First Officer was performing the After Landing checklist. When the First Officer reached to shut down the Number 2 engine; he mistakenly shutdown the Number 1 engine. The crew recovered by stopping the taxi; starting the APU and restarting the Number 1 engine; followed by a successful taxi to the gate.
