Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Low carb barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 head Boston lettuce
- 2 cups Cabbage slaw mix
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Preheat your slow cooker on low heat.
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the spice mixture.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth around the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the pork to a large bowl and shred using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
Mix in the low carb barbecue sauce with the shredded pork and stir until well combined.
To make the slaw, combine cabbage slaw mix, apple cider vinegar, and sweetener in a medium bowl. Toss to mix and set aside.
Separate the leaves of Boston lettuce and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry with a towel.
To assemble, place a spoonful of pulled pork onto each lettuce leaf, top with a bit of slaw, and serve immediately.
