On the assumption that you are doing a low-ranked Shen in MHFU in the village, I would suggest you bring bombs. Even with the best weapons available to you at that point, it can be difficult to stagger Shen before it attacks the town. Attack each leg until it completely reddens before moving onto the next one. When he falls (which he should after completely bloodying a leg) bomb him. Rinse and repeat until dead.
