Shen has a lower difficulty than Zeri. That means Zeri players don't need to be very careful when arranging Shen teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Working cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. When paired, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
In contrast, by pairing Zeri and Shen together, you will not be granting your side a great deal of magic damage. Make sure to include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their kit.
Regardless of the skill of your Shen teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
