Poppy actually trashes Shen pretty hard in lane. She is capable of being even tankier than Shen in lane and, come level 6, can utterly destroy Shen under his own tower with her ult.

However, the problem with Shen is that the usual "Win lane, win game" strategy doesn't apply to him. Once he hits level 6, he is one of the only champs that can continuously split-push to rebound from a lane loss. He is very difficult to ambush because of his dash and can instantly teleport to any fight. It is for this reason that I don't believe that there is any "true" counter to Shen outside of outplaying the Shen player and his team or just straight-up banning him.
