You might have to make other minor changes as butter has a much higher water content than shortening.

Texture will be different but good tasting.

I think it depends on the recipe. Since baking is a science, not an art like cooking, you usually need to follow the recipes pretty closely to have good results.

Only if you want it to taste much better than it would with any other shortening! And depending on the age and the source of your recipe, butter may be what it was calling for in the first place. Bon Appetit!
