Steps
Prepare Barbeque Sauce: In small bowl, whisk all ingredients together until blended; set aside. (Makes about 2/3 cup; reserve leftover for other uses.)
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.
