Welcome to the video and introduce the ingredients for seasoning pork shoulder.

Mix together 4 tablespoons of jerk seasoning, 4 tablespoons of all-purpose seasoning, 2 tablespoons of onion granules, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of garlic granules.

Wash the pork shoulder thoroughly, mentioning that lemon juice and lime juice can be used for washing.

Rub the dry seasoning mixture onto the pork shoulder, ensuring to cover every corner and crevice.

Pierce the pork shoulder with a knife to allow the seasoning to penetrate deeper into the meat.

Apply the wet jerk seasoning after the dry rub, making sure to get it into the pierced holes.

Use about half a cup or more of the wet jerk seasoning, ensuring the pork is thoroughly coated.

Let the seasoned pork sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours before refrigerating.

Cover the pork shoulder with cling film, wrapping it tightly to prevent odors from other foods in the fridge.

Refrigerate the pork shoulder, preferably overnight for best flavor.
