Season the Pork
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Cook the Pork
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour chicken broth around the pork, then cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily falls apart.
