drape the shoulder with overlapping slices of bacon.

Would you put the bacon on right at the beginning of the slow roast? If so, would you put the paste over top of the bacon?

I'm not familiar enough with this recipe to make a suggestion, but I've made Momofuku's Bo Ssam with a skinless pork shoulder (the recipe calls for a shoulder with skin) and it's been great. The high heat at the end of the long, slow roast lacquers the meet and provides it with that lovely, crackly top. I'm sure you could make this recipe without the skin, or go with Le Bec Fin's suggestion of creating a skin with bacon.
