Step 1
Cut the 1.5 lb pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix the 0.5 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp salt. Add pork and toss to coat; let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Thread the pork onto skewers, dividing evenly. Reserve the marinade.
Step 3
Grill over medium-high heat (or use a grill pan) for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred at the edges and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 4
Brush with reserved marinade during the last 2 minutes of grilling. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.
