AMybe something like this

encrypted-to-me-p.sh
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#/bin/sh
gpg -d  --status-fd 1 -o /dev/null 2>/dev/null "$1" | awk '
$1=="[GNUPG:]" && $2=="ENC_TO" && $3=="BEF6EFD38FE8DCA0" {print $1; exit 0}'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


find /foo -type f -name '*.gpg' -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 encrypted-to-me-p.sh

Best done with a keyring which does not hold any keys.  Does not catch
files which have hidden recipients.  Note that you need to test for the
subkey because that is the only information available in the encrypted
files.

Using --list-packets or pgpdump might be better but those have no stable
API.
