Can you refreeze meat after defrosted not cooked?
You definitely should not refreeze meat. once the temp drops any bacteria in the package begins to multiply. Cook it within 24 to 48 hours and that is only if it was defrosted in the refrigerator. If you defrosted it at room temp you have to cook it right away or throw it out.

What are the three best ways to defrost meat or poultry?
There are three convenient ways to defrost frozen meat, in the refrigerator, in moving water, or in the microwave. The best (from the safety point of view) is in the refrigerator. But size is important as well. If you have a small hamburger patty the microwave can work well, but the microwave has a tendency to cook outer portions of meat before the inner portions are defrosted. A pound of ground round (hamburger meat) can be defrosted in the microwave if you use the defrost setting and remove defrosted meat as you go. And then cook immediately. Defrosting in water is reasonable if you can put your frozen food in a waterproof plastic bag with the air pressed out and place it in a pot and keep a stream of cold water running through the pot. You have to watch this process and don't let defrosted meat linger in the pot. Make use of your defrosted meat immediately. If you have the time or your defrosting job is larger than a pound, refrigerator defrosting is the safest and easiest; just plan ahead.

Why is it recommended that meat not be thawed on the kitchen counter?

Can cooked frozen meats defrosted be refrozen?
Defrosted raw meat can be refrozen and cooked later, but the quality of the meat will be notably reduced. If the meat has been at room temperature for more than an hour or so, bacterial growth may have been substantial, and then the refrozen meat may not be safe to eat later, even after being cooked. The best way to deal with defrosted meat that is not needed immediately is to cook it and THEN freeze it for future use. In theory you can defrost and freeze meat as many times as you want as long as you cook the hell out of it before eating. Each time you do it, more bacteria grow inside it, but the heat of cooking will kill them. However, the palatability of the meat decreases with each cycle and quickly renders the food inedibal except by the very hungry.
Slightly defrosted shrimp be refrozen and then cooked safe?
All meat can be defrosted and then refrozen. It is safe to eat, but will not be as tasty and juicy if meat had not been frozen. This is not a safety issue but a culinary one.
