Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from 'shout' (utter loudly) combined with 'over' (above/against something), so 'shout over' clearly denotes shouting so as to be heard above competing noise. This compositional pattern (verb + over to indicate overcoming background sound) is common cross-linguistically and follows regular English particle usage, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Shout over comes from the simple picture of someone trying to be heard above a loud sound: you shout and your voice goes over the music or wind so others can hear you. That's why it means 'to speak very loudly in order to be heard above other noise'.
