How many grams is 1 1/4 cups of shortening?

1 1/4 cups of shortening is 238 grams, based on 190 g per level US cup.

Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). Using a metric cup, 1 1/4 cups of shortening would be 251 g.
