Morphology
The phrase pairs 'yeah' (casual agreement) with 'shit' functioning as an expletive intensifier, so the overall meaning of enthusiastic or emphatic agreement is compositional from the parts. However, the intensifier/expletive use of 'shit' is a non-literal register-specific sense that a B1 learner who only knows the noun meaning may not predict, so comprehension is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Shit yeah comes from putting the swear word shit before the simple yeah to make a louder, more excited 'yes'. So, shit yeah is used to show 'strong excitement' or 'enthusiastic agreement'.
