IMPs, both vul, you are in 3rd seat and hold:

Partner opens 1NT, 14.5-17. Partner may also tend toward off-shape
notrump openings, not wildly so, but 6-3-2-2 or 5-4-2-2 would not be
unexpected.

How do you approach this hand?

2C.
I strat with Stayman, over a 2D response, I bid 3H, and I follow with
4D over 3NT. Partner will get the picture. I will settle for 6NT
over partner's 4NT as a final choice. If we find a fit along that
path, I will try for 7 via Exclusion Blackwood, space permitting. A
diamond fit will be the most difficult to bid, but if partner shows
diamonds, I'll try 7D.
