Yes, you can use shortening in Italian meringue buttercream, although traditional recipes typically use only unsalted butter. Shortening can help stabilize the buttercream and make it more resilient in warmer conditions, but it may alter the flavor and texture slightly. Using a combination of both shortening and butter can provide a balance of stability and flavor.

Buttercream frosting asks for butter and shortening have no shortening just use a lot of 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.
