What will happen if I use butter instead of shortening for brownies?!
If you use salted butter, reduce the amount of salt you add by a little bit.
Answers: Go for it, they'll taste richer!

The texture might be a little different.
they will taste better. I have always used butter, never shortening.
They may get a little browner around the edges since butter browns more quickly and at a lower temp then shortening, but otherwise, it should be fine. If you are using a glass pan, you should automatically lower the oven temperature 25 deg fahrenheit... and of course you'll have to bake them a l ittle longer. Watch them closely. Remember if you are making the fudgey kind, they'll be moist in center when you take them out of the oven.
They will be delicious! -That's about it.
They will taste better by far!
Unsalted butter - You could put butter and margarine and maybe interchange it in the brownie recipe, but butter has more flavor and I think gives a better texture. Melted butter produces a more fudgy texture. Shortening makes brownies more dense;
So, yes you should use butter!
they will taste better
make sure you use UNSALTED butter ... they'll be next to each other in the grocery store
