Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz scallops, fresh or defrosted
- 1 stick butter
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 pinch salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Dry the scallops on paper towels, ensuring the outside is well-dried.
- Season each scallop with salt and pepper.
- Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray and lay the scallops inside, making sure they are not touching.
- Cook the scallops for 3 minutes. In the meantime, combine the butter and garlic in a bowl and melt it in the microwave.

- Serve the scallops over cooked butter noodles and drizzle the remaining butter mixture on top.
Notes
Ensure scallops are thoroughly dried to achieve a nice sear.
Adjust cooking time based on the size of the scallops for best results.
Pair with a side of vegetables or noodles for a complete meal.
