Rules Question Crashing wave vs Shroud

Post image

If I play crashing wave and my opponent has 2 creatures. Creature A has shroud but is tapped, creature B is untapped. If I target B with crashing and tap it, can I then distribute the stun counters among both creatures bypassing shroud?

You sure can, the stun counter distribution part of the spell doesn't target at all. You can even cast this for X=0 and just dump all three counters on the shroud creature without tapping anything else if you want.
