Why not? :P
1. Although shotgun spread bullets in an unique way, be as much accurate as possible, you have a good chance to kill in one shot (splat).
2. According to point 1, shoot your enemies in a close range, as close as possible.
3. It is best played in narrow maps, like ac_mines and ac_rattrap; big and massive maps like ac_douze are not advised, besides some narrow spots, like the 'no camping' area.
4. Keep in mind that shotgun is actually the only weapon (besides nade) that can frag two people at the same time; pretty useful during a massive dm/tdm.
5. Alternate shotgun-pistol in mid-long ranges and shotgun-knife in short ranges... This last one is great if you're really quick at switching.
6. According to point 3, be sure to walk as much close to the walls as possible; (newbie) players tend to walk in the midway, so if you are closer to walls, you have a good chance to 'surprise' them with a glorious splat!
Add your advices too!

Here's a general trick of mine I've found to be pretty useful (and often rewarding!).
Before you shoot, if you're really close to an opponent, crouch right before you shoot. This will make sure more of the projectiles hits your opponents, and often times lands a one shot splatter kill.

Pretty good on ac_arid too. The main chokepoints are both small close range rooms. CLA's base is tight as well, making shotgun a solid weapon if your full autos aren't doing well. RVSF also has very predictable spawns, so you can get in the area and set up a spawnsplat.

Nice one.
I'd like to add one of my own - aim for the balls - also the 'lizard switch' tactic works very very very well (see Gibstick's post)

Making a joke is pretty loose already. Maybe you ought to loosen up.

If your opponent is at a distance unaware of you, use your pistol to weaken them and use your shotgun to finish them off when they turn around to find you :)
