- 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Notes
The Dr Pepper BBQ sauce can be prepared separately on the stovetop if desired, then used as a condiment. To do so, simply add all ingredients, minus the pork shoulder, to a saucepan and simmer until thickened.
