How do I unzip files recursively in macOS?

1

Say I have a list of folders and I want to unzip the .ZIP files. Is there a bash script or python script that I could use to achieve this? All suggestions welcome!

I was able to unzip the top directory using the following command:

find ./ -name \*.ZIP -exec unzip {} \;

But it does not unzip the zipped files inside subdirectories.
