Air Fryer Scallops

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds sea scallops, fresh or frozen and defrosted
½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons old bay seasoning
¼ cup butter, melted
1 garlic clove, minced
lemon wedges for serving
chopped fresh parsley to garnish

Directions

Place the scallops in a colander and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Use a knife or your fingers to remove the side muscle on each scallop.

Preheat your air fryer on 400F for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, gently toss the scallops with oil and old bay seasoning.

Carefully arrange the scallops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd them.

Air fry for 3 minutes, flip the scallops over and air fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque.

Repeat with remaining scallops.

While the scallops are air frying, mix together the melted butter and garlic.

Serve the scallops with lemon wedges, melted garlic butter and chopped fresh parsley.
