I use prawns or chicken for these and as they are done in the steam oven they keep their shape and are easy to serve. If you are not using a steam oven, be careful not to over steam them because the zuchinni will fall apart quite easily if over done! If you are going to steam them on top of a boiling pan of water, I suggest the traditional Bamboo Steamer and in fact you can use these inside the steam oven as well if you like the more authentic feel. Great for serving from too!
