Who Wins

Pre-6, you lose the 2v2 — Caitlyn out-ranges your Q rockets by 50 units and Shen's E gives Caitlyn a free headshot proc on you, which combined with her passive trap damage creates a punishing all-in you cannot match.
Post-6, your R gives you a global threat that Caitlyn lacks, but in a straight 2v2 Caitlyn still wins if Shen can land E, so you remain slightly disadvantaged unless Milio R cleanses the engage.

Your best pattern is to farm with Q rockets at max range to match Caitlyn's poke distance, and only commit to a trade when Milio has landed Q on Caitlyn first — the slow allows you to land W and stack passive for a short burst trade before resetting.
Never extended trade into Caitlyn's headshot rhythm; take short burst windows and disengage with Milio's E speed boost.

Prioritize slow-pushing the wave to deny Shen roam windows — a large wave crashing toward Caitlyn's tower forces both enemies to stay, and your Q rockets can safely clear from range without stepping into Caitlyn's trap zones.
Avoid hard-shoving early because standing near a pushed wave under their tower puts you in Shen E range with no escape.

Do not step on Caitlyn's traps under any circumstance — a trapped Jinx is a dead Jinx because Shen E immediately follows and Caitlyn gets a free headshot, and Milio's W alone will not save you from the burst.
Avoid using R to finish low-health enemies in lane unless Shen's R is confirmed on cooldown, as Shen can R a teammate mid-channel and deny your kill while his team collapses.
