How much Crab Boil (liquid or dry) do I need for 10lbs shrimp, probably 3lbs sausage, corn, potatoes and onions?

I never seem to get enough flavor from TE suggested amount of Zatarain's but I'm afraid to overdo it. TIA.

I guess about a cup per gallon would be a good starting point.

When im boiling shrimp I use all 3 forms of crab boil.....for 10# I would go with 2 bags, a healthy splash of the liquid, and maybe a half container of dry. I use the dry mostly so I don't have to add salt.
