Ingredients

• 1 pound pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 4 cloves fresh garlic
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, coconut aminos, lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mince garlic cloves and grate the ginger using a microplane, then add them to the marinade mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 3

Cut the pork shoulder into strips approximately 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long. Make sure all strips are uniform for even cooking.

Step 4

Place the pork strips into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the pork.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing flavors to meld and the meat to tenderize. For best results, marinate for up to 8 hours.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 7

Once the grill is heated, remove the pork strips from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 8

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place pork strips on the grill in a single layer.

Step 9

Grill the pork strips for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F, with nice grill marks.

Step 10

Remove the pork strips from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

While the pork is resting, chop the green onions.

Step 12

Garnish the grilled pork strips with chopped green onions before serving.
