Make sure you read the recipe closely in case it says anywhere "Do Not Substitute". If you have this in the recipe there is a reason so do not try it.

Use more butter?

You can substitute an equal amount of butter for the shortening; just keep in mind that the frosting will be much less resistant to heat, so if your cake will be in a warm environment, you may end up with puddles of buttercream on the table! If your recipe doesn't already call for egg whites, I would add a tbsp of meringue powder (or one egg white) to the recipe, to help the buttercream crust a bit; this may help with the stability of the frosting.
