With the Shield Master feat, you get a bonus action shove attack with the shield. So, with that subclass and feat, you could make an attack with the shield as an improvised weapon and then make a shove attack with the same, or another, shield as a bonus action. I would think still only +2 to AC though.
As close as I can figure to two-weapon shield fighting.
