Air Fryer Scallops (Crazy Easy)
Description
Air Fryer Scallops (Crazy Easy) centers on one pound of scallops, seasoned with garlic parsley salt and smoked paprika for subtle savory and smoky notes. The scallops are patted dry to promote browning, then cooked for 6 minutes at 400°F in a sprayed air fryer basket, flipped halfway through. Meanwhile, butter is melted with minced garlic. After cooking, the scallops are plated and drizzled with the warm garlic butter, which enhances their sweet, tender character. Parsley and lemon wedges add a fresh finishing touch. This method avoids oil splatters and produces scallops with a slight crust and a tender center, suitable for a quick seafood dish or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb scallops
- 1 tsp garlic parsley salt
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels.
