Combine strawberries, 2 Tbsp. sugar and brown sugar in medium bowl. Toss to mix well. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours before serving.
Heat oven to 425ºF. Lightly spray baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives until flour is blended to form pea-size pieces.
