Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a stockpot of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Add shrimp, and poach until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath. Let stand until cool. Drain. Peel and devein shrimp. Refrigerate.
• Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, scallions, mustard, ketchup, capers, lemon juice, garlic, and cayenne. Toss shrimp in remoulade to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Divide lettuce evenly among plates, and top with shrimp. Garnish with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add bay leaf, thyme sprig, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer and add shrimp. Cook shrimp until shells turn red, only a minute or two. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water, let cool, then peel and set aside.
• Meanwhile, put beets in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a brisk simmer until tender when tested with a skewer, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool on a plate until just cool enough to touch. Slip off beet skins and discard. Cut beets into small wedges. Put in a bowl, season generously with salt and pepper, and add vinegar and oil. Toss and let marinate for 15 minutes. (You may prepare beets up to a day ahead.)
• Make the rémoulade: Stir together crème fraîche, mustard, cayenne, horseradish and capers. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir in tarragon, parsley and dill. Refrigerate for an hour (or as long as overnight). Just before serving, stir in lemon juice and check seasoning.
• Assemble the salad just before serving: Make a bed of watercress on a large platter. Spoon beets and any juices evenly over watercress, then sprinkle celery slices over top. Arrange shrimp here and there and surround with hard-cooked egg halves. Give a last, very light sprinkle of salt and serve. Pass rémoulade at the table.
