Morphology
The meaning 'to say or call something loudly' is directly derivable from combining 'shout' (utter loudly) with the directional/public sense of 'out' (projecting outward or publicly). This verb+particle composition is a common, compositional pattern in English and parallels exist in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would very likely infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Shout out comes from the simple image of pushing your shout out into a room or crowd to get someone's attention or show strong feeling. That's why it means 'to say something loudly and suddenly' to attract attention or express emotion.
