Directions

  1. Mix mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce together in a small bowl. Refrigerate Sriracha mayo until ready to serve.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. Spread scallops out onto a plate or cutting board and blot dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap each scallop with 1/3 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

  4. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place bacon-wrapped scallops in the basket in a single layer, split into 2 batches if necessary.

  5. Cook in the air fryer for 7 minutes. Check for doneness, scallops should be opaque and bacon should be crispy. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, if necessary, checking every minute. Remove scallops carefully with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil from the bacon. Serve with Sriracha mayo.

Recipe Yield

36 scallops

Recipe Note

This delicious appetizer is prepared quickly and easily in the air fryer and served with a spicy Sriracha mayo dipping sauce. I use the smaller bay scallops for this. If you are using jumbo scallops it will require a longer cooking time and longer strips of bacon.
