1. Firecracker Shrimp That Actually Brings The Heat
Starting your meal at Lazy Dog without ordering an appetizer would be missing half the fun. The firecracker shrimp arrives at your table looking innocent enough, but one bite reveals why regulars keep this dish on rotation.

It’s got that perfect balance where you can actually taste the shrimp instead of just feeling the burn.
