A Twist on Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I had these scrumptious sandwiches at a catered party and at the demand of my husband, who ate 5 or 6 of them, I had to recreate these at home. Most pulled pork is BBQ flavored and served with slaw on the sandwich but this! This is a twist! Here's how it goes down (be prepared for your new family favorite):

What you need: 
1 - 2 lbs of Pork Shoulder Butt Roast (This is not the pig's actual booty portion, it's the shoulder)
1 can pineapple rings
Sweet Hawaiian Rolls
Mayonnaise
Sriracha
Crock Pot
Frying Pan

What to do:
1. You will be slow cooking the pork shoulder to ensure it is nice and juicy and shreddable. IF your pork shoulder is frozen, throw it in the crock pot before work and it will be done cooking by the time you get home - 8 hours or so. IF the pork shoulder is refrigerated, it will take about 6 hours to cook.

When your pork is all done cooking, turn the crock pot to warm and transfer the pork onto a cutting board. With two hefty forks, shred the crap out of and return it to the crock pot.

2. Put your frying pan on high heat and place the pineapple rings in the pan. You want the grilled effect so keep an eye on them, turn them when one side starts to brown and remove them before they burn.

3. In a bowl, combine about a cup of mayonnaise and 1 to 3 tablespoons of Sriracha. If you like it spicy, add more!

4. Now for the showdown! Take your Sweet Hawaiian Roll and split it in half. Slather on a nice layer of Sriracha mayo on both sides of the roll. Pile on your juicy pulled pork. Top with a grilled pineapple ring, the other half of the roll and you've got yourself one hell of a pulled pork sandwich! It will be so delicious you won't even be able to get a picture of it before its all gone.
