Rub the spice paste all over the 3 lb pork shoulder roast.

Place the pork shoulder in a 4.5 to 5 quart slow cooker.

Add apple cider vinegar and either beer or chicken stock to the slow cooker for flavor.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or 4 to 5 hours if in a hurry.

Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
