Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F for 3-5 minutes. This will give you a great sear on the meat.

Prepare the Pork Shoulder: Remove the pork shoulder from its packaging and place it in the air fryer basket. There's no need to add extra oil or spray, as the pork shoulder usually has some fat that will render during cooking.

Cook the Pork Shoulder: Place the pork shoulder in the preheated air fryer and set cook time for 8-12 minutes. Cooking times can vary depending on the size and flavor of the pork shoulder, so be sure to follow the instructions closely.

Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork shoulder. It should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for pork. If it hasn't reached this temperature, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Rest and Serve: Once the pork shoulder is done, remove it from the air fryer and rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to be redistributed, ensuring a juicy and tender final result. Slice or shred the pork as desired.

Optional: Crisp Up the Exterior (Optional): If you prefer an even crispier exterior, you can give the pork shoulder a quick spritz of cooking spray and return it to the air fryer for a couple of minutes, keeping a close eye on it to avoid burning.

Serve: Serve your air-fried Trader Joe's Pork Shoulder as a main dish alongside your favorite sides. It pairs well with rice, vegetables, or in sandwiches.
