Burgers
- In a bowl, combine the zucchini ribbons, lime juice and salt. Let marinate until ready to serve, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- Preheat the grill, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
- In a food processor, coarsely chop the shrimp. Add the cornmeal, green onions, egg and harissa. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse for a few seconds until combined but still slightly chunky. With lightly oiled hands, form the mixture into 6 patties. Place on a plate. Oil the patties.
- Grill the patties for 3 minutes on each side or until cooked through but still juicy. Toast the buns.
- Spread the cocktail sauce over the inside of the buns. Top the bun bottoms with the patties, the zucchini mixture and the nasturtium leaves. Close with the bun tops.

Note from Ricardo

Nasturtium petals have a pleasant peppery flavour. They can be replaced in this recipe with the same amount of watercress.
