Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until shrimp turn pink. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
05 - Remove the partially baked flatbread from oven. Evenly scatter shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese onto the crust.
06 - Spoon shrimp and corn mixture over the layer of cheese. Top with crumbled bacon and chopped fresh chives.
07 - Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden and crisp.
