Shallots vs Onions

[richiebronson]

I wanted to know if shallots be used in place of onions? I've heard that sometimes you could. I've never had them before.

I'm cooking this recipe:

Good morning and welcome!

Shallots and green onions are pretty much interchangeable. However, regular yellow or white onions would be a difference in texture and taste. I would use the green onions in place of the shallots. Good luck!
