Tips:

  • Choose the right scallops. Look for large, dry scallops that are white or light pink in color. Avoid scallops that are wet or slimy, as these may be old or spoiled.
  • Prepare the scallops properly. Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the side muscle from each scallop, if desired.
  • Season the scallops simply. Salt and pepper are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the scallops. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
  • Cook the scallops quickly. Scallops only need to be cooked for a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and cooked through. Overcooking will make the scallops tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served hot, so cook them just before you are ready to eat them.

Conclusion:

Air fryer bay scallops with asparagus and mushrooms is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The scallops are cooked to perfection in the air fryer, and the asparagus and mushrooms add a healthy and flavorful side dish. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover scallops.
