Per serving, Seafood Paella runs about 36% more expensive in South Korea than in United States. The single biggest driver of that gap is Shrimp, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. United States still holds a real edge, but home-cooking beats delivery in both countries either way.
