Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zeri. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Zeri helps Shen perform worse in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen is paired with Zeri, he observes a small decrease in his complete damage dealt. This difference could demonstrate that Zeri doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that their support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Zeri on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Zeri.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Zeri on the same team, he typically takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Zeri does a decent job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Zeri?
There is no universally accepted best ally for Shen that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. Yet, overall, Zeri is a terrible teammate for Shen. By locking into the same side as Shen, they decreases their win rate by -5.7% to 44.0%. This shows that there is a terrible synergy between Shen and Zeri that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Zeri has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players must be cautious when finding Zeri comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. When paired, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
In contrast, by pairing Shen and Zeri together, you probably will not be giving your team a great deal of AP. Make sure to have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Zeri ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
