1 (4 -4 1/2 lb) boneless pork shoulder (about 4 to 4.5 pounds)
4 tablespoons kosher salt

1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika

Slowly add in the olive oil until the mixture forms a nice paste. Rub all over pork. Get into all of the nooks and crannies. This will help to form a crust on the outside when cooked.

Cover pork with plastic wrap or put in a zip loc freezer bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

When ready to cook, let the meat sit out a room temperature for 30 minutes.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the roasting pan with foil. Spray the roasting rack with non-stick cooking spray.

Roast the pork for approximately 4 - 5 hours, uncovered until the outside is crispy brown and the sugar has carmelized to form the crust. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before pulling apart.
