Cajun Air Fryer Scallops

Easy breaded Cajun Air Fryer Scallops are coated in a seasoned bread crumb mixture, then fried in the air fryer so they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Cajun Air Fryer Scallops recipe

Prep: 10 min | Cook: 10 min | Yield: 4 servings

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large (10-20) scallops, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Olive oil or avocado oil spray

Instructions

  1. Heat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Line air fryer with aluminum foil.
  2. Run your finger along the side of each scallop and remove the side muscle; discard it. Place scallops on a plate then pat them dry with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil over the scallops.
  3. Combine the bread crumbs, Cajun seasoning and salt in a bowl, then transfer the scallops to that bowl and stir gently until the scallops are coated.
  4. Place the scallops in the air fryer, making sure they're not overlapping. If they don't all fit, cook them in batches. Spray the scallops with a little olive oil/avocado oil spray.
  5. Air fry the scallops at 400 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket after 5 minutes.
