In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus, red bell pepper, and zucchini.

Cook the Scallops
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
