Vegetable oil versus shortening?!


Question:

Vegetable oil versus shortening?

what is the real difference between using vegetable oil and something like crisco shortening to "fry" something on the stove? I want to know if I can use crisco in place of vegetable oil to avoid the store. i know that i fry chicken wings in crisco, so why not something like shrimp? thanks.

can i use the shortening to fry shrimp instead of using vegetable oil?


Answers:

there is no real difference in frying them, shortening is a bit more flavorful but more trans fat since its hydrogenated, other then that feel free to fry whatever you like
