Frost Wedging.
Freezing or thawing are classified as mechanical weathering. Water dissolving and oxidation of chemicals in rock acid rain are classified as chemical weathering.
Ice wedging
Most thawing instructions I have seen for shrimp is to not quick thaw under running water. That can make the shrimp pick up water and literally water-down the flavor. Hot water thawing is not recommended for the same reasons and could result in even more water absorption. Usually, though, the main concern with thawing out food in hot water is that the outside gets warm enough to grow bacteria before the inside thaws.
