You can do it either way. The shell is edible and in fact some folks like the shells (and some distinctly do NOT). This depends most on your guests' tastes -- there are great recipes either way.

What is the difference between butterfly shrimp and regular shrimp?
The main difference between butterfly shrimp and regular shrimp is in their preparation and appearance: Butterfly Shrimp: Appearance: Compared to regular shrimp, butterfly shrimp are typically larger and flatter. They are often deveined and split open along the back, creating a butterfly-like shape with two halves that are still attached at the tail. Preparation: To make butterfly shrimp, the shell is usually removed, and the shrimp are split open along the back, making it easier to remove the vein (if it hasn't been removed already). This preparation makes them look attractive and can help them cook more evenly. Usage: Butterfly shrimp are often used in dishes where presentation is important, such as shrimp cocktails, appetizers, or as a topping for salads. They are also commonly breaded and deep-fried as a popular appetizer or main dish. Regular Shrimp: Appearance: Regular shrimp are available in different sizes and have a curved shape with a shell covering the entire body. They're naturally curved, with their tails usually attached to each other. Preparation: Regular shrimp can be served with the shell on (which is often removed during eating) or peeled and deveined for convenience. They are typically not split open along the back like butterfly shrimp. Usage: Regular shrimp are versatile and can be used in a wide range of dishes, including stir-fries, pasta, gumbo, and various seafood recipes. They are commonly prepared in various ways, such as grilling, sautéing, boiling, or baking.
