He was wrong to shout out. You were right to correct him. If she has any further complaints, suggest a parent-teacher conference and invite your principal to sit in on it. Refuse to meet with her apart from having the principal (or another administrator or counselor you trust) present.

Then one afternoon a student shouted out & I reprimanded him by telling him that it was not okay to shout out and that his behavior then sets off other students to begin shouting out as well. His mom happened to be walking down the hall and we had to have a meeting that afternoon. She basically told me that I didn't know what I was doing and that maybe that kind of behavior was okay when teaching students with special needs, but not kids in the ge class setting. This was the beginning of the end for me and since that day I have been so self conscious about correcting behavior or following through with contingencies for fear of what the parents will say/do.
