The Object to be formatted in a AttributeValue representation. That means you would have to change this

var params = {
    TableName: 'sharedata',
    Key: {
        id: {S:_id}
    },
    ProjectionExpression: 'ATTRIBUTE_NAME'
 };

The error

error: Expected params.Key['id'] to be a structure

is indicating that key is not formed correctly in the request. From the docs: 

var params = {
  TableName: 'TABLE',
  Key: {
    'KEY_NAME': {N: '001'}
  },
  ProjectionExpression: 'ATTRIBUTE_NAME'
};

Try this out:

var params = {
    TableName: 'sharedata',
    Key: {
        id: {S: _id}
    },
    ProjectionExpression: 'ATTRIBUTE_NAME'
    };
