Savory Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Zesty Mayo in the Air Fryer
  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    35 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of creamy mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons of zesty Sriracha sauce
  • 1 pound of tender bay scallops, around 36 delicate pieces
  • A sprinkle of coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 12 slices of crispy bacon, each piece cut into thirds
  • A serving of olive oil cooking spray

Step 1

Combine mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a small bowl, ensuring they blend harmoniously. Chill the delectable Sriracha mayo concoction until it is time to dazzle your taste buds.

Step 2

Before embarking on this culinary adventure, set your air fryer to a toasty 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) to create the perfect cooking environment.

Step 3

Prepare your succulent scallops by arranging them elegantly on a plate or a cutting board. Gently pat them dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle them with a dash of salt and pepper for a burst of flavor. Embrace each scallop with a tantalizing slice of bacon, securing it in place with a trusty toothpick.

Step 4

Give your air fryer basket a light mist of cooking spray to prevent any sticky situations. Lay your bacon-wrapped scallops in the basket, ensuring they have ample breathing space. If needed, divide them into two batches for optimal cooking results.

Step 5

Let the magic happen as you cook your creation in the air fryer for a transformative 7 minutes. Peek in occasionally to ensure that the scallops are opulently opaque and the bacon reaches a satisfying crispness. If a bit more time is needed, extend the cooking by 1 to 2 minutes, checking diligently every step of the way. With precision, retrieve your delectable scallops using tongs and place them gently on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil from the bacon.

Step 6

To elevate this culinary masterpiece, serve your bacon-wrapped scallops alongside the tantalizing Sriracha mayo for a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your palate.
