Slow Cooker version

2. Preheat the oven to broil.
3. Shred the pork with two forks, or with the paddle attachment of your stand mixer, then toss with additional cooking liquid, butter (about 1 cup), and pineapple, then spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the sea salt. Place the pan in the oven and broil for 3-6 minutes, keeping a close eye on the pork until it is crisp.
4. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, diced onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and 1 teaspoon sea salt.
