If a crust recipe is calling for half a cup of melted butter can you use melted shortening instead?
[Edit]

In almost any recipe you can substitute one 'oil' or 'grease' for another. The result is sometimes a small flavor difference, but in the end product the result is usually not noticeable. Butter, Margarine, Lard, Shortening and Vegetable Oils are usually adequate substitutes for each other.
