Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the scallops for this special dish.
Step 2
Gently scrub the outer shells of the scallops under running water with a brush to clean them thoroughly. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris stuck between the shells.
Step 3
Place the cleaned scallops in a pot and add enough water to cover about half of them. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine to remove any fishy odors and enhance flavor, then cover with a lid and steam.
Step 4
The steaming time can vary depending on the quantity of scallops, but typically, after the water starts boiling, steam for about 2 more minutes, then turn off the heat. Be careful not to overcook them, as the meat can become tough.
Step 5
While the scallops are cooling slightly, finely dice the onion, carrot, and bell pepper for the mayo corn salad. Finely dicing the vegetables will improve the texture.
Step 6
In a bowl, combine the drained canned corn kernels (3 Tbsp) with the finely diced vegetables. Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of sugar for a touch of sweetness, and a pinch of black pepper (about 5 shakes) for flavor.
Step 7
Mix all the ingredients well with a spoon. Your colorful and delicious mayo corn salad will be ready in no time!
Step 8
Once the scallops have cooled down a bit, gently pry open one side of the shell and detach one half of the shell completely. This makes it easier to add the topping and to eat.
Step 9
Spoon the prepared mayo corn salad generously onto each scallop half.
Step 10
Pile the mayo corn salad high onto the scallops to make them look even more appetizing.
Step 11
Next, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the scallops and corn salad. This will add a delicious creamy and stretchy texture.
Step 12
Finally, tear pieces of cheddar cheese and scatter them over the top. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some dried parsley for a nice finish.
Step 13
Place the prepared scallops in your air fryer oven and bake at 200°C (392°F) for about 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 14
Wow! The cheese has melted and turned a beautiful golden brown. The aroma of sweet and savory filling the kitchen is incredibly tempting.
Step 15
Your Scallop Mayo Corn Cheese Bake is complete! Enjoy the wonderful combination of tender scallops and the abundant topping!
