step-by-step directions
In a small bowl, add the salt, pepper, cumin, mint and lime zest, and stir to combine. Dry the pork shoulder well with paper towels. Rub seasoning all over pork shoulder and place in a slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, mix to combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. Add the mixture to the slow cooker along with the beer, juice of 2 limes, water, jalapeno, scallions and garlic. Cook for 5 to 6 hours, until the pork shreds easily with a fork.
Remove the jalapeno and garlic cloves, and discard. Skim excess fat off the top, if necessary. Using 2 forks, shred the pork apart. Stir to combine the meat and the sauce.
Serve pulled pork in a bibb lettuce cup with pickled jalapenos, fresh cilantro, peanuts and scallions.
