Keep the burgers.
Make something with the shrimp and crawfish.

Can always freeze whatever you cook, like soup.

ETA: to answer your original question, I would keep all of it, unless it was not cold.

Happened to me, and at the time I read that if ice crystals are present, the food is ok to refreeze. I did that for a lot of things like roasts, stock, vegetables and such. I cooked all my ground beef and seafood out of an abundance of caution. Wasnt bad having ample browned ground beef, patties, meatloaf, creole, gumbo and such ready to go!

I did invest in an alarm after this happened, as well.

Half thawed, you're good to go. If worried about the shellfish, like already mentioned, cook them and freeze what you don't eat for later.

If everything is still cold and partially frozen, I shut the door and keep it all. However, you may need to check anything vac sealed as there could be some issues with air if they defrosted at all.

Throw out the freezer. Keep everything else.
