Instructions

Prepare the spice rub by mixing paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl.
Rub the spice blend generously over the pork shoulder.
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, then add the diced onion, chopped garlic, and orange juice on top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours until the pork is tender and easily shreds with forks.
Transfer the pork to a cutting board, shred it, and return it to the slow cooker to soak in the juices.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the pork shoulder overnight with the spice rub before cooking.
Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or on buns for a tasty pulled pork sandwich.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
