Here is my first attempt of using an air fryer with shellfish. The air fryer does not disappoint and the scallop comes out cook with the right texture. They turn succulent and tender in the air fryer. I used Trader Joe’s fresh scallop. By making the lemon garlic butter sauce with chives, it brings out the right amount of zest to each bite. Another great summer recipe. Hope you enjoy this one.
