Can you refreeze shrimp once it's been thawed out?

Answer by  Joe12 (189)

No. Once thawed, shrimp and most other foods should not be re-frozen. During the time that the food was thawed, risk for contamination is high.

As long as it never got too warm then it should be fine. If the temperature got close to room temperature you run the risk of food-born illness.

You are not supposed to refreeze anything that has thawed out, especially seafood. You risk food contamination if you do. If you have defrosted too much, cook it all and then freeze what you cannot use, that if the safest method.
