Notes

For added flavor, you can sear the pork shoulder in a hot pan before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a caramelized crust that enhances the taste. Additionally, you can adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to taste, or even try different sauces to create variations of the dish.
