That all depends on the method of freezing and the means by which the scallops are kept frozen. Vacuum sealing and flash freezing is the best method for the actual freezing process as this causes the least damage to the meat. Keeping the meat frozen at -20 F (-29 C) will allow the meat to keep almost indefinately. Most of us do not have access however to the proper facilities and appliances for this so here is an easy way to tell if the meat is no longer edible. Look for dry, flaky white areas on the meat (also known as freezer burn). If there are areas like this on the meat, then it is no longer edible. If you have store bought, vacuum sealed meat, then look for ice crystals developing under the plastic. This will indicate that the meat is no longer edible.

Are shrimps good once they have been unthawed?

I assume you mean thawed - unthawed is refrozen! As long as that was the only time they have been frozen, they will be perfectly good. Most shell food and fish is perfectly good after being frozen, but beware, many supermarket fish/shellfish, have been frozen before being defrosted and put on display. Check the label to be sure.
