Default 10/20 pound: KK line check

I hate multi hand posts and this is my first but these hand really have a similar theme. All players are smart in this hand. UTG has a huge opening range and the cutoff has a decent reraising range (TT+, AQs+). I am sure shoving is +EV, but wondering what some alternative lines are.

UTG+1 is very agro and will always raise to isolate limpers. The small blind has the largest reraising range of any winning player I know (he is a 2+2er with great results), although it is smaller when he is out of position. His re-raising range is any pair, any big ace, and suited connectors. Which line will maximize my EV? Again I know shoving is +EV but I am wondering if better lines exsist. Also I limp very rarely with big pairs and with the agression of this game I should have raised first in.

Edit: Removed my action but I shoved in both and was uncalled.
