There is no specific, definite "shoestring" so never the definite article "the"
Always "a shoestring".
"budget " is optional. The expression is so commonly known that "on a shoestring" is used with nothing other than budget, so budget is implied, but still allowed.
So both your sentences are viable.
Also a shoestring of a budget, describing the type of budget.
