Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'shared' (held or used collectively) with 'passion' (a strong interest or enthusiasm), yielding an interest held in common by two or more people. This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Shared passion brings to mind two people holding the same bright flame: shared means held together and passion is a strong feeling. One popular image is friends carrying that flame together, showing a common 'interest' or 'enthusiasm' that connects them.
