Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9-11 minutes.

02

Step

While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovy fillets with their oil and cook, stirring, until the anchovies dissolve into the oil, about 2 minutes. Add the minced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

03

Step

Stir in the chicken stock, white wine, minced garlic, dried parsley, and seafood seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

04

Step

Gently add the bay scallops to the simmering sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook until the scallops are opaque and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, being careful not to overcook them.

05

Step

Drain the linguine well and divide it among serving plates. Spoon the scampi-style scallops and sauce over the linguine. Serve immediately.

For an even richer sauce, consider adding a tablespoon of butter at the end and swirling it in.
Fresh parsley can be used in place of dried, if available. Add it at the very end for a burst of fresh flavor.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, make a slurry out of a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a teaspoon of cold water and stir into the boiling liquid to tighten it up.
Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

    Be careful not to overcook the scallops, they can get rubbery.
