Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. In a bowl, combine 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to form a marinade.
2. Step 2: Place 3 pounds bone-in pork shoulder with scored skin on a rimmed sheet pan. Rub the marinade all over pork, ensuring to get it into the scored skin and crevices.
3. Step 3: Roast pork in preheated oven for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, basting every hour with pan juices, until internal temperature reaches 190°F and skin is crispy and golden.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest uncovered for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with pan juices spooned over.
