There is no obvious or outstanding candidate on this hand - it's a choice between a rather heavyweight 1, a protective 1NT and double. Although he has misgivings, Paul suggests it is probably right to double and follow with 2 over partner's imagined minimum response. With a rather vulnerable K sitting under West maybe this is overemphasising your strength, but partner may have difficulty believing you are this good if you don't elect to double.

Whatever- West leads A and switches to a low club. Over to you.
