• 1 (8 pound) pork butt, trimmed
• 18 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 teaspoons Creole seasoning
• 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

1. Cut rows of deep slits into both sides of pork butt using a sharp                                       knife; insert a garlic clove into each slit. Rub vegetable oil over pork butt. 
2. Mix Creole seasoning, brown sugar, white sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, mustard, cumin, and ginger together in a bowl; coat pork butt with spice mixture. Wrap coated pork butt with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight. 
3. Heat an infrared turkey fryer or a large skillet over medium-high heat; remove aluminum foil from pork butt. Sear all sides of pork butt in the fryer or hot skillet until an internal temperature of 145 degrees is reached, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

6. Place wrapped pork butt in the preheated roaster or oven until pork is easily shredded, 3 to 4 hours. Remove pork butt from aluminum foil and pull meat apart.
