Add the asparagus to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your asparagus. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent the garlic from burning. Continue to sauté until the asparagus is tender-crisp and bright green.
Transfer the cooked asparagus to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with lemon zest, grated Parmesan cheese, or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor. Serve immediately as a side dish.
