- In another small bowl, mix red onion, vinegar, 1 tsp. olive oil and salt; set aside.
- Preheat grill to med.-high. Oil back of flat metal tray with 1 tsp. olive oil. Press dough into 12 by 15-in. rectangle on back of tray. Place dough side of pan directly on grill. Grill 1 min. Gently remove tray, starting at front edge and using metal spatula if necessary. Continue grilling dough for about 5 min., watching carefully to avoid burning. Flip dough and move to cooler spot on grill.
- Spread entire crust surface with barbecue sauce and top with cheeses. Place shrimp evenly over top and cook flatbread until crisp and bubbly.
- Just before removing from grill, arrange bacon on top. Remove to cutting board and cut into 12 squares. Top with pickled red onions and scallions. Serve immediately.
