This sounds like it might be it..Linguine With Scallops Recipe
3/4 pound Bay Scallops (cut in half)
1/4 cup olive oil, plus 1 Tablespoon
4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup toasted plain bread crumbs
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 pound linguine or spaghetti
Preparation:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil with the butter and the garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the garlic turns pale tan, stirring occasionally. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the scallops, salt, and pepper, and cook just until the surface of the scallops turns opaque, about 2 minutes. Add the bread crumbs and half the parsley and turn off the heat.
Salt the boiling water and cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. When it is just about done, reheat the scallops over medium heat. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the sauce and the remaining olive oil, add a little pasta-cooking water if necessary, and top with the remaining parsley.
