A shrimp tie (also known as an Ebi or Kuri) is a type of Shibari bondage. It originated over 300 years ago in Japan as a torture and interrogation technique. The procedure is as follows: 1. * A chest harness of rope is tied. 2. * The arms folded across the front of the chest, and tied with the fingertips of each hand touching the elbow of the opposite arm. 3. * The wrists are attached to the chest harness. This is done most easily by tying ropes around the torso and chest harness. 4. * Their ankles are tied crossed as they sit on the floor; this forces their shins to be at right angles to each other with the knees wide apart. 5. * The ends of the ankle rope are pulled up to the chest harness, forcing the legs up. 6. * These ends are tucked into the harness. 7.
