Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the lamb shoulder, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
