Sometimes, all you need is a bowl of pasta that’s simple but unforgettable. That’s exactly what you get when you toss plump, garlicky shrimp with Casa De Laurel’s Salsa Macha.
With puya and guajillo chilis, avocado oil, and a hint of Oaxacan chocolate, this salsa adds a smoky depth that pairs beautifully with buttery pasta. It’s the kind of dish that feels special but comes together in under 30 minutes.
