Ingredients
- 12 oz frozen scallops thawed and patted dry
- 16 slices about 2 oz precooked center cut bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons seafood or cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Wrap one piece of bacon around edges of scallops securing with toothpick
- Brush both sides with oil and sprinkle with seasoning
- Place in air fryer basket in single layer
- Cook at 400 degrees for 4 minutes, flip and continue cooking until cooked through until tender and opaque (about another 4 minutes)
Notes
-
using pre-cooked bacon is necessary so that it cooks at the proper rate with the scallops
-
I used cajun seasoning but you could use a seafood seasoning like old bay as well
- use a meat thermometer to check the temp of the cooked scallops to ensure they don't overcook (aim for 140-150 degrees F).
