I'm using WooCommerce and have selected "shop" page as homepage in WordPress settings. Therefore www.example.com and www.example.com/shop are one and the same page.

In this case what I should do? Use canonical element in header or 301 redirect?
I have read several things about both, but I'm unable to judge what's perfect for this situation. I'm here to seek some advise from SEO experts.

If you want the "shop" webpage as homepage and if two webpages have the same content, you should apply a 301 redirect from www.example.com to www.example.com/shop. You need to do this to avoid duplicate content.

Moreover, I think it's useless to show two webpages with the same content to your visitors, it's a little bit confusing. That's why you should apply 301 redirect instead of rel="canonical".
