Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sriracha Mayo

Ingredients

• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 1 pound bay scallops , about 36 small scallops
• 1 pinch coarse salt
• 1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper
• 12 slices bacon , cut into thirds
• olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix together mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. 2

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

3. 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. 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. 5

   Cook in the preheated 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 bacon. Serve with Sriracha mayo.
