Set aside. Coarsely mash thawed peas in a medium bowl. Mash and stir in eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, chopped mint, garlic, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Using 1/4 cup of the pea mixture for each, shape four 3-inch-wide fritters and transfer to the pan. Cook until crispy, adjusting heat if necessary to prevent burning, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the fritters to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat with the remaining pea mixture and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Combine greens (and/or pea shoots), cucumber, radishes and mint leaves in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved sauce and toss to coat. Top the salad with the remaining 1/4 cup feta and the fritters. Serve with the remaining sauce and garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
