Primitives in GF(p^n) are primitive (p^n - 1)th roots of unity; so to
get a polynomial in Z_p[t] whose roots are primitives in GF(p^n), try
a polynomial whose splitting field is the degree n unramified
extension of Z_p. In your case, I think the 48th (48 = 7^2 - 1)
cyclotomic polynomial does it.

The 48th cyclotomic polynomial is x^16 - x^8 + 1, and its
factorization over Z_7 is

 <x^2 + x + 3>*<x^2 + 2*x + 3>*<x^2 + 2*x + 5>*<x^2 + 3*x + 5>*
 <x^2 + 4*x + 5>*<x^2 + 5*x + 3>*<x^2 + 5*x + 5>*<x^2 + 6*x + 3>.

Then I suppose those quadratic factors are the irreducible polynomials
that the OP is looking for.
