Recipe Notes:

Use cold rice. Preferably cook the rice the night before when you plan to cook the fried rice. If the refrigerated rice is hardened to form lumps then just break the rice lumps lightly with hands before using it in the recipe.
Always cook vegetables on high heat in a work or any kind of deep pan would work but make sure you have applied oil to it well or else rice will stick to it.
Cook on high heat.To get the smoky flavor in the fried rice just like from restaurants,toss the rice always on high heat.
Cook each ingredient separately.You have to cook each ingredient separately.cook shrimp separately,eggs separately,veggies separately and finally add them all together.
Toss . You have to toss everything well,do not stir as they will mix up and become mushy.

Butter is the most important ingredient in making restaurant style fried rice.
