• Heat the olive oil in a skillet. When it is hot, add the garlic and saute for five to six seconds. Then add the zucchini and red pepper and saute for two to three minutes. Add the drained scallops to the vegetables and season with the pepper and salt. Toss the ingredients together to warm them and add the lemon.
• Just before serving, add the croutons and sprinkle with the chives.

Turn the scallops and cook until just opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter and keep warm. 2.Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the sliced fennel and capers and cook over high heat, stirring, until the fennel is crisp-tender and lightly golden, 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the fennel around the scallops and garnish with chopped fennel fronds. Serve with lemon wedges.
