In the US we also call butter "butter". We never refer to butter as shortening even though technically it is. In the US shortening equals Crisco.

Personally I dont put shortening in brownies. I dont see any reason to. It will probably extend shelf life a little. But I personally would disregard any recipe that calls for shortening.

That's not to say Im like some chefs and am anti-shortening. I use it for many things. But not for brownies.

IMHO
