Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Pork shoulder (Boston butt)
  • 2 tablespoons Cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Creole mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
  • 2 large French bread loaves (crusty)
  • 2 cups Shredded lettuce
  • 0.5 cup Sliced pickles

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the cayenne, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the dry rub.

  2. 2

    Coat the pork shoulder thoroughly with the spice rub, pressing it into the meat on all sides.

  3. 3

    Place the pork in a slow cooker with the chicken broth and cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender enough to shred with a fork.

  4. 4

    Remove the pork from the cooker, shred it using two forks, and toss it with a small amount of the cooking juices for moisture.

  5. 5

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, and hot sauce to create the remoulade.

  6. 6

    Slice the French bread into sandwich-sized portions and split them open, lightly toasting them if desired.

  7. 7

    Spread a generous layer of remoulade on both sides of the bread.

  8. 8

    Pile the shredded pork onto the bread and top with shredded lettuce and pickles before serving.
