Marinate pork shoulder in lime juice, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the marinade and pat the pork dry with paper towels.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the marinated pork and brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the pork and set aside; drain excess oil from the skillet.

In the same skillet, sauté onion, bell pepper, and thyme until softened, about 5 minutes.

Return the pork to the skillet and add vinegar, orange juice, and spices.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 1-1.5 hours, or until the pork is tender.

Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high to crisp the pork, about 10 minutes.

Serve hot with pickled vegetables or fried plantains.
