In a large bowl, combine the pineapple juice, achiote paste, cumin, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cook the Pork
Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet. Sear the pork on all sides until browned (about 8-10 minutes). Lower the heat and cover, cooking for an additional 30-40 minutes until the pork is tender.
