Admiral Muskwe scored a pivotal first-half penalty to put Scott Brown's Fleetwood on course for an easy League One win at 10-man Shrewsbury.
Muskwe converted the controversial 25th-minute spot-kick, awarded for Matthew Pennington handling a Brendan Sarpong-Wiredu shot.
Referee Ross Joyce also dismissed defender Pennington in the same incident as Town suffered a third red card in as many games.
The 10 men fell further behind three minutes later when Promise Omochere fired home his first goal for the Cod Army.
Omochere had previously gone 17 games in all competitions without finding the net since his summer move from Bohemians.
Only an upright denied Danny Andrew a third goal for Fleetwood after 70 minutes, but it finally came when ex-Shrewsbury midfielder Josh Vela's last-minute shot was deflected into his own net by Chey Dunkley.
Shrewsbury, who also lost Pennington's defensive partner Tom Flanagan to an early injury, drop to 15th after a third successive defeat.
