Marinate the Pork
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder and coat it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cook the Pork
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
