Place the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic into the bottom of the crock pot.
Rub the pork shoulder all over with salt, black pepper, and paprika, then place it on top of the onion and garlic in the crock pot.
Pour the chicken or beef broth into the crock pot around the pork to keep it moist during cooking.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on Low for 8 hours (or on High for 4-5 hours).
At the end of the cooking time, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the crock pot, removing any excess fat as needed.
Stir in the BBQ sauce, mixing well to coat the pork evenly. Allow the pork to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to warm the sauce through.
Toast the brioche buns, if desired, and place a generous amount of the shredded BBQ pork onto each bun.
Top the pork with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your easy BBQ pork sandwiches!
