I'd think log and hard about taking the ax to 2♠.

2♠ should set up a game force.
It's a matter of partnership agreement whether to play 3♣ as game-forcing or as 5/5 invitational. I'd assume game forcing without discussion, but invitational is clearly useful on some hands. If 3♣ is played as invitational then that widens the possible distributions for a 2♠ call.
2♣ is natural and NF, quite wide ranging in terms of strength. I'd bid 2♣ on the hand you quote.
