You were all set to give a Jacoby 2NT response when East stuck in his 1♠ overcall.
Now you can't because Jacoby is off after opponents interfere. Fortunately you have another bid at your disposal. You say 2♠, showing good s and a limit raise or better.
Partner bids 3. What do you say now?

Partner didn't have enough to bid game, not knowing if you had more than 11 points. But you know you have opening hand so you bid 4.
