Prepare the orange-herb sauce: in a large bowl, combine all the ingredients
Place the lamb shanks on top of that mixture and coat them evenly
Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight
Preheat the oven to 450°F (very hot)
Put the lamb shanks in a roasting pan
Cover with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours
Reduce the temperature to 180°F (medium), remove the foil, and roast the lamb shanks, basting occasionally, until golden brown (about 1 hour and 30 minutes)
Transfer the lamb shanks to a serving platter
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the fat
Garnish the lamb shanks with fresh oregano leaves and serve hot with the sauce
