Counterattack is always an effect belonging to a monster or item that actives when that monster/item has been attacked. Cards like Shine Energy give the Counterattack keyword effect to a monster/item, so it is an effect that belongs to that target monster/item, so cards which nullify the effect(s) of that monster/item will nullify Counterattack.

In short, if a card's effects are nullified, you treat it as a vanilla card, except where that card possesses or is affected by an effect that prevents that card's effects from being nullified. As a wider application of this, a card effect which says "You can't do X" always trumps an effect which says "Do X".

Be aware that a lingering effect that affects a card whose abilities have been nullified are not considered effects belonging to that card, as such, while Shine Energy's +3k +3k will be in effect, and it will successfully give the card it targets Counterattack - because those are lingering effects caused by Shine Energy - the Counterattack that was given will be nullified because it now belongs to the card whose effects are nullified.
