Frozen Brine Shrimp

I accidently left out some brine shrimp over night - can I just put it back in the freezer or do I need to throw it away - does it have to stay frozen??

Well, I wouldn't feed it to the wife & kids.

A lot of food in the ocean is in a constant state of decay. If you are only using small amounts it is probably OK. Larger amounts of decomposing shrimp could create some ammonia problems.

Just invite someone you don't like very much over for a shrimp cocktail to be sure however.
