How do you tell if cooked shrimp has been defrosted and refrozen?

Shrimp should be blue if it's frozen raw. If it's been in the freezer for too long it will turn white (that means it's freezer burnt). It's still okay to cook if there are some white bits but I wouldn't cook it if the entire shrimp is white.

Another answerActually, a color change from gray to pink usually is the change that occurs from raw to cooked.If you are talking about a bag of cooked shrimp that might have been defrosted and refrozen, the pieces would be stuck together and you might see larger ice crystals.

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.

Can cooked thawed shrimp be refrozen?
It's never advisable to re-freeze raw meat once it has been defrosted especially sea food - the worse kind of food poisoning is from sea food. Shop bought shrimp are generally safe to freeze immediatly after purchase, but once defrosted, they are exposed to harmful bacteria which can spoil them, and therefore they cannot be refrozen. Defrosted shrimp should be covered and stored in the fridge, and consumed within two days. -The following is from the UK Food Standards agency - http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/asksam/healthydiet/fiasandshellfishq/#A221177 When you buy prawns from a supermarket or fishmonger, they might have been frozen before, even if they aren't frozen when you buy them.

When does defrosted chicken need to be cooked by?
If you are asking "Can chicken that has been frozen be defrosted and cooked?" then the answer is yes. If you are asking if chicken that has been frozen, defrosted, refrozen and defrosted again can be cooked than the answer is yes but it's not safe. When you freeze food water crystals expand and damage cells. When you defrost your food, particularly if you leave it on the counter instead of in the fridge bacteria causing microorganisms have the chance to multiple. When you then refreeze it even larger ice crystals are formed destroying even more cell membranes. After this you defrost it again and the microorganisms from before can double. Usually at this point the meat doesn't look or smell so great.
