For deeper flavor, sear the pork in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preferred spice level. Feel free to experiment with different BBQ sauces to customize the flavor profile. The cooking liquid can be strained and reduced on the stovetop for a more concentrated sauce. Leftover pulled pork can be used in sandwiches, tacos, nachos, or salads.
