crushed pepper
Broken peppercorn flakes
Crushed pepper is dried pepper—usually red chili peppers—that has been broken into coarse flakes rather than ground to powder.
The standard shaker at pizza restaurants contains crushed red pepper.
The texture provides bursts of heat rather than uniform spiciness: Add some crushed pepper to the pasta sauce.
