See the TeXShop Help: menu Help, TeXShop Help Panel...
Click on Advanced Help
Navigate to Additional Typesetting Engines; the fifth paragraph tells
you what you can do.

The default program can be set on one of the first twenty lines of the
source code by writing a line like
% !TEX TS-program = xelatex
There must be one space before and one space after the equal sign. A
Macro supplied with TeXShop makes adding this line easy; the Macro
lists all active engines, making it possible to select the desired
engine from a dialog list.
