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.

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. Check the label or ask the person serving you, if you're not sure. You shouldn't freeze prawns that have already been defrosted.
