I bought shrimp at my local Asian International market. They put shrimp in what I think is a refrigerated display case. The shrimp is frozen when they get it and I'm assuming it thaws in the display case because its thawed when I buy it.
I bought two pounds and Im refreezing a pound for future cooks. Is that food safe ?
I Googled this issue and the results are very confusing.
Do it all the time, no problem. We always thaw the raw shrimp, cook then freeze again for our camping trips. I always, from frozen, thaw them in the frig, never the counter. They will thaw overnight.
no problem! One suggestion: Next time ask them for the frozen shrimp they receive, thaw just the ones you want to eat, the rest stay in the freezer. I buy 3-5 lbs at a time frozen from Joe Patti’s like that. I once knew a guy whose family owned a shrimp 🦐 processing plant, he said shrimp can be thawed and refrozen many times without greatly affecting quality.
