👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C).

Mix cracker crumbs, garlic powder, and seafood seasoning together in a shallow bowl.

Place melted butter in a second shallow bowl.

Dip each scallop in the melted butter and then roll in the breading until completely coated.

Set on a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Arrange scallops in the prepared basket so that they are not touching each other; you may need to work in batches.

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 2 minutes.

Turn scallops over gently with a small spatula and cook until opaque, about 2 more minutes.
